Tournament Format
Teams split into two round-robin pools of four teams; each team plays three games. Based on pool standings each team will play a fourth game against the team finishing in the same position from the other pool (i.e. Pool A 4th place vs Pool B 4th place). Teams must be prepared to start each game on time in order to help maintain the tournament schedule as best as possible.
