Competition format
In the first round of the competition, teams were divided into two groups of four teams, and play followed a round robin format with each of the teams playing all other teams in the pool once. Teams were awarded three points for a win, two points for a draw and one point for a loss. All ties in the standings will be broken by point differential[2]
Following the completion of the group games, all eight teams advanced to a single elimination round consisting of four quarterfinal games, two semifinal games, and the bronze and gold medal matches. Losing teams competed in classification matches to determine their ranking in the tournament. A penalty stroke competition took place, if a classification matched ended in a draw to determine a winner.[2]
All games were played in two 7 minute halves, except the gold medal match which was played with 10-minute halves.[2]
Draw
The draw for the groups was determined using the 2014–15 Sevens World Series standings.[2]
