The top four teams in each group advance to the second stage, only the fifth placed team does not and finish the tournament in last place.

In the second stage, the two best teams of each group progress to the semifinals, while the third and fourth placed teams from each group progress to the classification matches (for 5th to 8th place). The second stage of the tournament consists of a single-elimination.
