There are 5 days consisting of 2 matches, and 5 days consisting of 4 matches.
Game and Match Points

The Match Points (MP) are awarded in the following way: 3 MP to the team that scores more GP than their opponent, 1 MP to the team that scores the same GP as their opponent, and 0 MP to the team that scores fewer GP than their opponent. The two teams with the most MP qualify to the Final (the first three tie-breaks are GP, Direct Encounter, and Extended Sonneborn-Berger). The Final is a best-of-2 match. If tied, a blitz playoff shall take place.
