Format edit

The tournament is played in two different stages. In the first stage, the sixteen participants are divided in four groups of four teams each. A single round-robin format is played within each group to determine the teams' group position (as per criteria below). The three best teams of each group (total of 12 teams) progress to the second stage, with group winners advancing to the quarterfinals while second and third placed teams advancing to the playoffs.
