In both groups there was a round in which everyone played against everyone once. In the intermediate round of the Group A teams, the team placed second in the preliminary round met the fifth placed and the third placed fourth. The two winners of this intermediate round and the winner of the preliminary round qualified for the semi-finals. In the first semi-final, the winner of the preliminary round met the winner of the game between the second and fifth place. The loser of this game had to play in a second semi-final against the winner from the game between the third and fourth placed. The two winners from the semi-finals eventually played out the world champions in the final. The winner of group B finally competed against the sixth in group A for promotion or to remain in group A.
