The 8th World Team Championship for Men ( English 1981 Men's World Team Squash Championships ) was held from September 24 to October 3, 1981 in Stockholm (Main Round) and other cities (preliminary round) Sweden instead. A total of 20 teams took part, which meant a new attendance record. With England , Scotland , Finland , Zimbabwe , Singapore , France , Norway , Monaco , the Netherlands and the Federal Republic of Germany , a total of ten teams made their debut at a World Cup.
The defending champion was the United Kingdom , which as such no longer competed in world championships. Instead, England and Scotland were two separate teams. The Scots finished eighth, while England lost in the game for third place against the Federation of Arab Republics . World champion was Pakistan for the second time after 1977 , which defeated Australia 3-0 in the final. The team from the Federal Republic of Germany finished 16th on their debut.
mode
The participating teams competed in four groups. The group played in round robin mode , and the teams were divided into the finals according to their group placement. All places were played out. All teams consisted of a minimum of three and a maximum of four players who had to be reported in the order of their skill level. Three individual games were played per encounter. A team won if its players could win two of the individual games. The order in which the individual games were played was independent of the order in which the players entered.
