Initially there will be a complete round-robin with 11 matches of 10 boards. Semi-Finals and Final will be held in two segments of 16 boards. All the teams will play until the end.
For the Semi-Finals and Final, the 12 teams will be divided into 3 groups according to their ranking at the end of the round-robin.
1 to 4: Group A For the Semi-Finals, 1 chooses his opponent between 3 and 4
5 to 8: Group B For the Semi-Finals, 5 chooses his opponent between 7 and 8
9 to 12: Group C For the Semi-Finals, 9 chooses his opponent between 11 and 12
At the end of the Semi-Finals, the winners from the same groups meet as do the losers; this allows a complete ranking from 1 to 12.
