Qualification process

The qualification process is divided into three regions, the Pacific Zone, the American Zone and the European Zone. Teams in their respective zone will compete in a knockout format. Teams will compete for two days, with two singles and doubles played on the first day and three singles and two doubles played on the next day. The teams that win their respective zone will earn a place in the final tournament to be held in Preston, Lancashire, England.

Since Australia and New Zealand did not enter their region of qualification, Malaya automatically qualified for the final tournament. The other teams that declined their participation from the qualification rounds are Belgium, Mexico and Norway. [1] [2] [3]
