Format
editCompared to four years earlier, the format of the tournament underwent some changes.The tournament was played in two different stages. In the Preliminary round (first stage), the eight participants were divided into two pools of four teams in a single round-robin format was played within each pool to determine the teams position. At the Final round (second stage) the first placed teams in each group qualified directly for the semi-finals, while the second and third placed teams in the Olympic crossover system would face each other in an extra round consisting of a single elimination round with the winners advancing to the semi-finals and those eliminated playing a game to define fifth place. The winners of these two games faced those already qualified for the semifinals and while the winners played in the final, the losers played in the bronze medal match.
