The 24 competing teams are split equally into six pools of four where each team will play the other in a best of three set match.
Two points are awarded to the winner of each match with the loser given a single point.
When all teams have played all of their respective pool games the top two from each pool and the four best third placed teams progress through to the last sixteen knockout stages.
