Like in Hong Kong this weekend and in Vegas, the tournament will be split over three days each with two matches per day. While this is helpful from a television and attendance perspective players generally prefer to have tournaments spread over two days. Two group stage matches will take place the first day, followed by the final group stage match and first round of elimination play. The medal round will then take place on the third day. Each team will play two matches on day two to determine the final placings.
The tournament will be held at Deodoro Stadium. The temporary structure is set to be completed early next year and will hold 15,000 fans. After rugby has finished using the stadium it will be used for the Modern Pentathlon.
