The format of the Championships is one player representing each county in the singles and two in the pairs. In the singles, a round robin determines the top player in each section progressing to the quarter final and the second and third placed players progressing to the knockout round. The mixed pairs was slightly different in that a draw determined the knockout round, due to the fact that 12 teams qualified from the six group round robin stage. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Australia's Jack McShane won the singles defeating Dominic McVittie in the final, while Sophie McGrouther became world champion after a tie break victory over Emily Kernick. The English pair of McVittie and Kernick gained consolation by winning the mixed pairs title. [8]
