The event is structured in round robin fashion with final standings determining which teams make the cut. Scotland and the Republic of Ireland play each other at 7:30 PM on the 12th, in the first game of the event for both teams.

The European qualifiers are the fourth of five; the Oceania, Africa, and Asia Qualifiers have already been completed and the Americas Qualifiers start next week.
