First stage:
In the first stage all teams shall play in groups of four or five teams or groups/subgroups of six to eight teams, where all teams play all other teams in the same group/subgroup. An overall ranking order in the group shall be achieved.
For 32 or fewer teams entering there shall be four groups in the first stage. For 33 to 64 teams, there shall be eight groups. For more than 64 teams, there shall be 16 groups.
Final stage:
The final stage shall consist of a series of ranking competitions.
Each ranking competition shall be played similar to a knock-out draw (with winning teams progressing to the next round), but with losing teams going on to play losing teams from the same round in further sub-competitions until a total ranking for the teams in that ranking competition has been determined.
Each team shall play in the ranking competition determined by its place in its first stage group.
The winner from each first stage group shall play in a ranking competition to determine overall rankings 1 to 4, 1 to 8 or 1 to 16, depending on the number of groups in the first stage.
The 2nd team from each first stage group shall play in a ranking competition to determine overall rankings 5 to 8, 9 to 16, or 17 to 32, depending on the number of groups in the first stage
The 3rd (4th, 5th etc) team from each first stage group shall play in similar ranking competitions to those listed above to determine further appropriate overall rankings.
Ranking order in the group or sub-group will be determined by using Sudirman Cup Regulation 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7
