Instead of using a single
round-robin tournament like the first two tournaments, this tournament uses the group stage format that is still used today. The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, from there each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing four games. The top two teams from each group will then advance to the
single-elimination knockout stage. The first round is a crossover semifinals, where the first-seed from each group is matched with the second-seed from the opposing group. The winning teams advance to the finals while the losing teams compete in a new third place game. == Group stage ==
