Format

Twenty teams of two players each participated in the tournament. The top eight nations were seeded. As the host nation, Thailand was represented by two teams. The teams were drawn into four groups of five. The top two teams in each group have gone through to the quarter-finals.[8] Each match included singles and doubles frames.

Round robin stage

Each match consisted of five frames and all frames were played. Each player played one frame against each player in the other team plus one doubles frame.[9][10]

Frames were played in following order:[9][10]

  1. Singles (Player 1 vs. Player 1)
  2. Singles (Player 2 vs. Player 2)
  3. Doubles (alternate visits)
  4. Reverse singles (Player 1 vs. Player 2)
  5. Reverse singles (Player 2 vs. Player 1)

One point was awarded in the group for every frame won. If two teams were tied on the same number of points following the group stage then the winner of the match between those two teams was ranked higher in the group. Players were not permitted to play consecutive frames in singles matches.[9][10]

Knock-out stage

Matches were played over the best of 7 frames with a singles frame to determine winner if match was tied at 3 frames each. Players were not permitted to play consecutive frames in singles matches.[9][10]

Frames were played in following order:[9][10][11]

  1. Singles (Player 1 vs. Player 1)
  2. Singles (Player 2 vs. Player 2)
  3. Doubles (alternate visits)
  4. Reverse singles (Player 1 vs. Player 2)
  5. Reverse singles (Player 2 vs. Player 1)
  6. Doubles (alternate visits)
  7. Singles (players nominated by captain).
