In the group phase, each team must play 3 matches against the other team. Win gives 1 point and loss no points. The best two teams advance for the quarter-finals. In the event of a tie, direction confrontation will be the tie-breaker.  Quarter-finals, Semifinals, final and challenge for 3rd place will be best of five.
