Pool play format: 3 courts, 4 referees, 12 teams, 28 matches

For pools of 4 teams, the best of 3 sets will win matches. Each
non-deciding set will be won by the
team that first scores 25 points with a minimum 2-point advantage
(no scoring cap). If there is a
deciding set, it will be won by the team that first scores 15
points with a minimum 2-point
advantage (no scoring cap). Change sides when a team earns 8
points. A point will be scored on each
rally. If the receiving team wins the rally, they score a point
and gain the serve.

Tournament format: All teams advance. All teams must be ranked
within their pools based on match percentage first. For
any ties, use the tie-breaking procedure below. All first-place,
second-place, and the top two thirdplace
teams to the Gold playoffs. The remaining third-place and all
fourth-place teams to the Silver
playoffs.
Playoff positions on the tournament brackets will be based on pool
finish to avoid teams from the
same pool playing each other in the first round. To avoid
third-place teams playing a team from
their pool for the first tournament match, a tournament director
can choose to switch best thirdplace
and second-best third-place teams on the tournament bracket if
both teams consent to the
change.
Seeding procedure: Pool A
Seeds 1, 6, 7, 12
Pool B
Seeds 2, 5, 8, 11
Pool C
Seeds 3, 4, 9, 10
Teams from the same club, regardless of seed, should not be placed
in the same pool.
Tie-breaking: Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not
be decided by playing a set.
1. If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head
match determines their order of finish.
2. If 3 teams from the same pool are tied after match and set %
and point differential have been
calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish.
For the third-place teams:
3. If 2 teams from different pools are tied after match and set %
and point differential have been
calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish.
4. If 3 teams from different pools are tied after match and set %
and point differential have been
calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish.
