Qualifying began at 7pm when half the teams started playing in two groups of four teams. Each team played a 2-player 4-ball game against another team in their group with each team member playing 1 ball for their team. The team with the highest score earned 5 points, the losing team earned 0 points.
Each team then played another 2-player 4-ball game against a different team from their group, playing on a different machine. Again, the winning team got 5 points, the losers got 0 points.
The teams then changed opponents and machines for a third time, with the same 5 points at stake.
When each team had played 3 matches (i.e. played against all the other teams in their group) they played a final 1-player 4-ball game on their group's bonus machine with each team member playing 1 ball. When all 4 teams had played, the highest scoring team earned 9 points, the second highest 5 points, the third highest 2 points and the lowest scored 0 points.
The maximum number of points available was 24 and the minimum is zero. The team with the highest number of points in each of the 4 groups went forward to the final.
