· The group winners and runners-up advance to a classification round for places 1-8 (played also as a league stage with 2 groups of 4 teams each), whereas the teams finishing in third and fourth position enter a classification round for places 9-16 (also divided in 2 groups).

· The group winners and runners-up after the classification round for places 1-8 advance to the final round for places 1-4, played as a league stage in which the individual scores during the classification round are accumulated. The group winner after this final round becomes Olympic champion, while the teams finishing in second and third position get silver and bronze medals (respectively).
