There were 24 national teams, with two players competing for each side, and the initial round divided the entrants into four groups of six. During the Group Stage, every national team played a best - of - five frame match against each of the other sides in their pool. All matches consisted of five frames, two singles, a doubles frame, and two reverse singles. The top two teams from each group advanced to the Knockout Stages, the order being determined by total frames won. If there is a tie in either of the first two places the following rules determine the positions. If two teams are equal, the winner of the match between the two teams will be ranked higher. If three or more teams are tied, a sudden - death blue ball shoot - out will be played. Teams tied for position 3 to 6 will remained tied and share the prize money for those positions. During the Quarter - Finals, Semi-Finals, and Championship Final, the eight qualifying team were paired off in a head - to - head knockout. The format for these matches was a best - of - seven frame competition with the contest coming to an end as soon as one team had won four frames. These encounters were scheduled as two singles, a doubles frame, two reverse singles, another doubles frame, and a winner - take - all singles if necessary.
