HOW IT WORKS

Two pools of seven teams - (A) and (B) - play round robin in the first round. The top six play each other in the second round. Lower placed teams play each other in two second round repechages. The top six and the winners of the two repechages go through to the quarter-finals. Winners go through to the semi-finals and the final.
