Every match is recorded live in the competition's statistics console by the statistician appointed by the host association. That means the score, the play by play, the team statistics, the scorers and the player ratings appear on this website while the match is being played — on the Live page and on the page of each match. When a match is closed, the official match scoresheet and the statistics report are published automatically with it, and the group standings are recalculated.

All times published on this website are local to the venue. The matches are also streamed on the official channel of the competition.
