The tournament essentials.

Format & qualification

19 teams play in four groups: Group 1 has four teams; Groups 2, 3, and 4 have five. Each team plays every other team in its group. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals.

Ranking uses points, then net games won. If teams remain tied, an organizer must resolve the final order before qualification is confirmed.

Match scoring

• Best two out of three sets.
• Straight-set win: 3 points to the winner, 0 to the opponent.
• Three-set match: 2 points to the winner, 1 to the opponent.
• Record the games in each completed set for tiebreak calculations.
• Deuce / advantage scoring. At 6–6, play a tiebreak to 7, winning by 2 points.
• Use a new tin of Adidas balls unless both teams agree otherwise.
• Prison rules govern all play. When in doubt, play a let.
