The upper section started with two all play all pools containing seeds 1, 4, 6 and 7, and 2, 3, 5 and 8 respectively. This was followed by two rounds of swiss, the overall design aimed at ensuring meaningful matches in the later rounds.
The lower section commenced with an all play all, with two further rounds of repeat matches but with individual pairings against the other member of the opposition relative to the first meeting.
