Competition format

The tournament starts with a group phase round-robin which will eliminate 8 pairs, followed by a single-elimination knockout stage. For the group stage, the players are divided into four groups of four. Each group plays a round-robin. The top two pairs in each group advanced to the knockout rounds. The knockout stage is a three-round single elimination tournament without a bronze medal match.

Matches are played best-of-three games. Each game is played to 21, except that a player must win by 2 unless the score reaches 30–29.
