A single round-robin format was played within each group to determine the teams group position, the three best teams of each group (total of 12 teams) progressed to the next round.

In the Second round, the 12 teams were divided in three groups of four teams. A single round-robin format was played within each group to determine the teams group position, the two best teams of each group and the two best third places (total of 8 teams) progressed to the next round.
