The participating teams competed in four groups. The group played in round robin mode , and the two best-placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals. This was carried out in the knockout system . All places were played out. For the first time in the history of the team championship, a qualification was held in advance. Here four teams competed in two groups. The group winners qualified directly for the world championship. The runners-up and thirds in the group played two more qualifying places in a play-off round.
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.
