21 teams participated in three groups. The teams played a round robin within their groups, and the top two teams from each group automatically qualified for the quarterfinals. The third-ranked teams among the groups used a draw stone challenge to determine which group took the seventh spot in the quarterfinals. The remaining two third-ranked teams then played a qualification game to determine the last qualifying spot.
