Format
The World Team Championship consisteted of teams of 4-6 players for national teams. The event was organised and run by the World Pool-Billiard Association. Only one national team is allowed to compete per nation, with the exception of hosts Germany, Great Britain and Israel. The latter two were re-nominated after the teams from Nigeria and Brunei cancelled.[5][6]
The event featured three pool disciplines for each match: Eight-ball, Nine-ball and 10-Ball. Each match consists of six matches; two each in the respective disciplines. The 8-ball sets are played in doubles to 6 racks. The 9-ball and 10-ball sets are played in singles on a playout of 8 or 7 racks. If a match is tied 3-3, the winner is determined by a playoff.[7]
