In the Pan-American Cups the competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 10 teams, two groups of five teams each were formed. The pool standing procedure was as follows: • Number of matches won; • Match points; • Match won 3–0: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser • Match won 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser • Points ratio; • Sets ratio; • If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams; • If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches between involved teams. The winner of each group advanced directly to the semi-finals, while the runners-up and the third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals. Groups composition Teams were distributed into two groups of five teams. As hosts, Dominican Republic had the right to choose the group in which to be placed and were assigned to the head of its group (Group B).
