Format

[edit]

The tournament had two groups of four: an "Eastern" and a "Western" group. The groups were not played as a round-robin; rather, the winners of the first round matches played each other in the second round, and the first round losers also played each other in the second round. The two teams with two wins from the first two matches advanced to the final. For the other teams, positions in the final round were determined by their position in their group, with the following rules:[8]

  • All matches tied at the end of regulation were decided by a penalty shoot-out.
  • Three points were awarded for a regulation win, two points for a penalty shoot-out win, one point for a penalty shoot-out loss, and no points for a regulation loss.
  • Tiebreakers were: head-to-head, goal difference, number of goals scored.

In other words, though the team placing first (two wins) in each group would be apparent, the determination of second, third (both teams: one win, one loss) and fourth place (two losses) was based on the above tiebreakers.
