The 16 teams were divided into two divisions. The top eight teams made Division 1 and the other eight teams Division 2. Both divisions were split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams from each group of Division 1 advanced directly to the quarterfinals, while the other two teams from each group played against one of the top two sides from each group in Division 2 in the crossover round. Starting with quarterfinals onward, the regular knock-out system was used.
