Five world titles were awarded across men's, women's, and mixed individual competition and men's and women's national squad competition. The United States won all five titles.
Format
National governing bodies could enter up to five men's pairs, three women's pairs, and one mixed pair. The individual tournaments used pool play followed by bracket play.
In the squad championships, countries competed through their ranked two-player teams. A men's squad tie was decided by a best-of-five series of pair matchups, while a women's squad tie was decided by a best-of-three series. A country needed at least three men's pairs or two women's pairs to enter the respective squad competition.
