Format

The format of the tournament was the slightly different from 2012. Twenty-one team were divided into five pools. The top eight teams, based on final placement of the 2012 competition, were placed into Pools A and B, each with four teams. The remaining thirteen teams were divided into Pools C, D and E, one with five teams and the other with four. The teams then played a round-robin within their pools. All teams in pools A and B, as well as the top two teams in pools C, D and E, advanced to a single-knockout playoff for the world championship. The remaining teams advanced to the single-knockout for the National Team World Cup.
