Format

The preliminary round is a competition between the twelve teams divided into two pools of six teams. This round, the teams will compete in a single round-robin format. The four highest ranked teams in each group advance to the knockout stage (quarter-finals). The sixth placed teams in each pool will be ranked eleventh in this competition. The fifth placed teams in each pool will be ranked ninth.[4]

The knockout stage will follow the single-elimination format. The losers of the quarter-finals will be eliminated and ranked fifth. The quarter-final winners will play in the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals will compete for gold medals and the losers will play for bronze medals.[4]

Pool standing procedure

In order to establish the ranking of teams after the group stage, the following criteria should be implemented:[5]

  1. Number of matches won
  2. Match points
  3. Sets ratio
  4. Points ratio
  5. Result of the last match between the tied teams

Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
