COMPETITION SYSTEM

· 50 national squads enter a Qualifying Stage, in which they are divided in 7 groups (six with 7 teams and one with 8) playing a round robin. The host nations (Austria and Switzerland) are bye from this round. The winners and runners-up of each one of these groups qualify for the Final Stage.

· The 16 participants in the Final Stage are divided in 4 groups of 4 teams each. The group winners and runners-up of each of these groups 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.
