This year's tournament saw 10 teams of four players enter, which were separated into two groups of five teams.
Within each of these groups, every team played every other team four times:

• one ladies doubles
• one mens doubles
• two mixed doubles (pair one and pair two)

The points scored in all of these games were then combined to give a total points score per team.
Additionally, each team had been given a handicap which was added to their points total.

Two finals were then played:

• The winners of groups A and B (without handicap points being considered) competed for the non-handicap prize
• The winners of groups A and B including handicap points competed for the handicap prize
