[HEADING=2]Tournament Details:[/HEADING]

The tournament will be played between 8 teams. Teams will be split into two pools consisting of four teams each. Each team will play a total of three matches against the other teams in their pool in a round robin style event to determine who will proceed to the semi-finals.

The four teams with the most points at the end of the round robin will proceed through to the semi-finals and have a chance to play in the finals. If the fourth spot is contested (i.e. 2 or more teams have the same amount of points) a match/s will be held to determine who will proceed through.
