The teams will be divided into two groups of six and in each group a complete round-Robin qualifier of 20 boards will be played.

At the end of the round-Robin qualifier the first two ranked teams will play a knockout match of 48 boards (four 12-board segments: 1st of group A v. 2nd of group B – 1st of group B v. 2nd of group A) in semifinal A; the third and fourth in semifinal B (3rd of group A v. 4th of group B – 3rd of group B v. 4th of group A); and the fifth and sixth in semifinal C (5th of group A v. 6th of group B – 5th of group B v. 6th of group A).

The winners of semifinal A will play a 48-board final (four 12-board segments) to determine the title; the losers will play a 36-board playoff (three 12-board segments) for third place; the winners of semifinal B and C will play 36-board matches (three 12-board segments), respectively, for fifth and ninth places; the losers of these semifinals will not be involved in further play.
