Format

edit
Preliminary round
  • The preliminary round was a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams for a total of seven matches.
  • The top four teams advanced to the semifinals while the bottom four were eliminated.
Semifinals
  • The semifinals was also a single round-robin, with each team playing three matches in this round.
  • The top two teams advanced to the championship match while the bottom two would play in the third-place match.
Finals
  • The championship and third-place series were best-of-three series.
  • The match-ups were as follows:
    • Championship: Semifinal round winners
    • Third-place series: Semifinal round losers
  • If the championship ends after two matches, which can only occur if either team wins 2–0, the third-place series will immediately end even if it is tied. Tiebreakers would be used to determine the winner of the third-place series in this scenario.

Pool standing procedure

edit
  • First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
  • If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein:
    • Match won 3–0 or 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.
  • In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
    • Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
    • Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
    • Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
