==Venues==
Due to political disputes over the name of Taeshan's easternmost island, the organizers referred to the location as "Redacted Island" during the World Cup.

==Group stage==
===Tiebreakers===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group was based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss);
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in matches between tied teams;
# Overall goal difference;
# Drawing of lots (OOC: cumulative [[roleplay bonus]]).

If three or more teams are tied in terms of the number of points, and after applying one or more of the tiebreakers 2-4, only a smaller subset of teams remained tied, the tiebreakers will be reapplied from tiebreaker 2.{{efn-lr|name=retie|This was not explicitly stated in the host bid, but it is implied as such based on the rankings in [[#Group B|Group B]].}}

===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of their KPB world ranking at the end of qualification. As hosts, Taeshan and Ethane were placed in pot one.
