Round 1: 14 teams divided in groups of 3 (4 in 2 groups). Top 2 teams advance
Round 2: 9 teams divided in groups of 2 (3 in one group). Winner advance
Round 3: 4 teams divided in groups of 2. Winner advance
Final round: Winners from round 3 play for champion. Losers from round 3 play for bronze.
When there is a tie both teams advance and they will be added to a group in the next round, so groups may contain more players than planned. If there is a tie on the final round both will be considered winners.
