Rulebook and mode

The tournament was played as a round-robin tournament, with each team playing against each other team once. The teams received the home right alternately to the previous year.

The points were distributed as follows:

• 4 points if you win
• 2 points if there is a tie
• 0 points in the event of a loss (before possible bonus points)
• 3 bonus points for a Grand Slam (five wins)
• 1 bonus point for four or more attempts , regardless of the final score
• 1 bonus point for a loss of seven or less points

The order was determined as follows:

• Number of table points
• Point difference
• Number of attempts achieved

If two or more teams score tied on the three criteria mentioned, they share the same ranking.
