COMPETITION SYSTEM

· 49 national squads enter a Qualifying Stage, in which they are divided in 9 groups (four of them with 6 teams each and five with 5) playing a round robin. The host nations (Belgium and Netherlands) are bye from this round.

· The 9 group winners and the best runner-up (only computing the scores against the 1st, 3rd, and 4th of each group) qualify directly for the Final Stage in Belgium and the Netherlands, where they join the hosts. The 8 remaining runners-up enter a Qualifying Round to earn four extra berths. This completes the list of 16 participants in the Final Stage, which are divided in 4 groups of 4 teams each.

· Both the group winners and runners-up of each group advance to 1/4 Finals, played as an X-pairing. Winners move to the Semifinals, and the two surviving teams after this round qualify for the Final.
