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 (1) most wins, (2) set win ratio, (3) points ratio, and (4) head-to-head.
