Group-stage round-robin action continues with five matches Thursday and concludes with three matches Friday. Once the final standings in each group are tabulated, the top team from each group earns a spot in the upper-bracket playoffs. The second- and third-place teams from each group are placed in the lower bracket while the fourth- and fifth-place teams are done.

The six playoff teams will determine the champion during double-elimination play on Saturday and Sunday. All matches are best-of-three except for Sunday's best-of-five grand final.
