Preliminary round

Teams played a round-robin schedule within the pool and those with the top four point totals advanced to a knockout round. Teams were awarded three points for a 3–0 or 3–1 win, two points for a 3–2 win, one point for a 3–2 loss, and zero points for a 3–0 or 3–1 loss. If at the end of pool play teams are tied the tiebreakers are most wins, set win ratio, points ratio, and head-to-head. If three or more teams are tied, the tiebreakers are applied only to the matches between tied teams.
