Games were 90 minutes in length and home team was the higher seed. There was to be no time limit for the semi-finals and final. The international tie-breaker would have been used after seven innings. Most of Sunday's games were played in a light rain and because of worsening weather in the afternoon and resultant unsafe playing conditions, the final game was cancelled.
