Competition Format
Twelve qualified nations were drawn into two groups, each consisting of six teams. Each game result merits a corresponding point:
| Result | Points |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 |
| Draw | 1 |
| Loss | 0 |
The teams with the two highest points qualified for the knockout stage, which was a single-elimination tournament. The semifinal winners contested for the gold medal, while the losers played for the bronze medal.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
