The tournament consists of 281 total match plays, which were divided into two divisions, namely; the Premier division (PM) and the Division 1 (D1), each division consists of 3 events, including; Double, Regu, and Team. All stated events were separated into 2 categories viz; men's and women's. However, no division 1 was assigned for the women category because of the limited quantity of women team participate. Due to the mentioned reasons, the hoop race was likewise conducted on only two events, including men's and women's, with no separated division.

Thailand was the greatest conqueror of the tournament by acquiring six gold medals from all regu and team categories in the premier division, as well as, the hoop categories, followed by Myanmar, which gained two golds from men's and women's double in the premier division.

Like the previous edition, the winner of each category in division 1 will automatically advance to the Premier Division in the forthcoming tournament.
