All competing teams are randomly arranged into several round robin groups of seven or eight teams each.
Every team plays every other team in its group once, receiving 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, or zero points for a loss.
The top 16 teams across all divisions make it into double elimination ; however, it is done so that the same number of teams ( or as close as possible to this ) in each division make double elimination.
