Format
The twelve teams were split into two groups of six teams. After playing a round-robin, the three top ranked team advance to the Main round. Every team will keep the points from preliminary round matches against teams who also advance. In the main round every team had three games against the opponents they did not face in the preliminary round. The top four teams advance to the Semifinals. The three bottom ranked team from each preliminary round group will be packed into one group. The points won against the teams who were also in this group will be valid. Every team plays three games and after those round there will be placement matches from 7th–12th place.
Matches will be played in sets, the team that wins two sets is the winner of a match. When teams are equal in points the head-to-head result is decisive.
