Format

On the first stage, the 21 teams are split in 3 groups with 7 teams each. In each group, every team play against all the other teams in the same group. The first and second teams from each group qualify to the quarterfinals. The two best teams in the overall standings also qualify. The 12 worst teams advance to the relegation tournament.[3]
