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:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
