For the first time since 2002 the men's tournament saw some minor alterations to the format. The competition retained its 16 team first round pool stage format however the quarter-final stage was removed so only the teams who finished as pool winners went through to contest for the medals with teams who come runners-up in their pools going through the newly formed lower classification stage and all remaining teams who finished third and fourth respectively were eliminated.[1][2]
