After the top 15, players were eligible with a limit of two players per country until the field of 60 players was filled.[2] The individual portion was similar to what will be used at the 2016 Summer Olympics, except that England, Scotland, and Wales fielded teams instead of a single Great Britain team in the Olympics.[2]
