Teams were made up of three players. Each team match was made up of five individual matches and ended when either side has won three matches. The order of a team match was changed as follows: a doubles match, two singles matches, and if neither side had won three matches by this point, a maximum of two extra singles matches were played.^[1] The new order avoids any players playing two matches in succession, and forces players who play two singles to compete in the second individual match.
