Competition format

edit

In the Pan-American Cups the competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 6 teams, a single round robin pool was formed. The pool standing procedure was as follows:[3]

  1. Number of matches won;
  2. Match points;
    • Match won 3–0: 5 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
    • Match won 3–1: 4 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 3 match points for the winner, 2 match points for the loser
  3. Points ratio;
  4. Sets ratio;
  5. If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams;
  6. If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches between involved teams.

The winners and runners-up advanced to the final, the third and fourth placed teams played the third place match and the fifth and sixth placed teams played the fifth place match.
