Format
Each team consisted of six players, playing two rounds of an opening stroke-play qualifying competition over two days, counting the five best scores each day for each team.
The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team were drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided. The elimination matches and the bronze match were decided with one foursome game and four single games.
The eight teams placed 9–16 in the qualification stroke-play formed flight B and the seven teams placed 17–23 formed flight C, to play similar knock-out play, with one foursome game and four single games in each match, to decide their final positions.Jansson Anders http://www.e-magin.se/paper/1pfc350j/popup/1?
