Tournament Format

Each of the six teams plays each other once in a round robin format to complete five preliminary round games.

The top two teams at the end of the preliminary round matches play off in the final. The 3rd and 4th placed teams play for the bronze medal, while the 5th and 6th placed teams meet in the 5th place playoff.

If teams are equal on points at the end of the preliminary rounds, they will be ranked according the following criteria (in order):

• Matches won
• Goal difference
• Goals for
• Result between equal teams in preliminary round

If teams can't be separated after the criteria above are applied, then a penalty stroke competition will be played.
