The top 24 ranked players moved on to the second round (quarter-finals). In the second round, players were paired and played a single 2-player 3-ball game on an allocated machine. When they had finished they moved on to a second machine and played with a different partner. They continued to do this until they had played 4 different machines with a different partner each time.

Ranking points were awarded for all the players on each machine and the top 8 ranked players moved on to the semi-finals.
