The tournament consisted of an initial 200 m time trial with a flying start. The top 12 athletes advanced to the first round. The first round comprised head-to-head races based on seeding. The winners of those four heats advanced to the quarter-finals, the losers to the repaches. The event was further a single-elimination tournament. Each race pitted two cyclists against each other in the best-of-three races. Each race was three laps of the track with side-by-side starts.
