Format

The preliminary round is a competition between the twelve teams divided into two pools of six teams. This round, the teams will compete in a single round-robin format. The four highest ranked teams in each group advance to the knockout stage (quarter-finals). The sixth placed teams in each pool will be ranked eleventh in this competition. The fifth placed teams in each pool will be ranked ninth.

The knockout stage will follow the single-elimination format. The losers of the quarter-finals will be eliminated and ranked fifth. The quarter-final winners will play in the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals will compete for gold medals and the losers will play for bronze medals.[4]
