Championship Structure
13 teams are competing in the 2008 championship. The 13 teams are split into 3 groups, 2 of which contain 4 teams and 1 which contains 5 teams. The top 2 teams in each of the 3 groups automatically progress into the quarter-finals. Due to Group C having 5 teams, the 3rd placed team in this group also goes into the quarter-finals. The 3rd placed teams in both Group A and Group B qualify for a Round of 16 game, with the winners gaining entry into the quarter-final.
Teams on equal points in each group are ranked by highest points difference (points scored less points conceded). However, no team may be eliminated from the championship who finish on equal points. For this reason, playoffs are needed in both Group A and Group C to decide who finishes 3rd in this group and to decide who moves on in the championship.
