Competition format
Twelve qualified nations were drawn into two groups, each consisting of six teams. Each game result merits a corresponding point:
Result | Points |
---|---|
Win | 2 |
Loss | 1 |
Loss via default* | 1 |
Loss via forfeiture** | 0 |
*The team has less than two players available to play on the court.
**A team cannot present five players at the start of the game, or its actions prevent play from being resumed.
In case teams are tied on points, the tiebreaking criteria are, in order of first application:[4]
- Results of the games involving the tied teams (head-to-head records)
- Goal average of the games involving the tied teams
- Goal average of all of the games played
- Points scored
- Drawing of lots
The teams with the four best records qualified for the knockout stage, which was a single-elimination tournament. The semifinal winners contested for the gold medal, while the losers played for the bronze medal.
