The competition system of this mixed team World Cup is novel, and each game adopts 15 eight-win system, in which each game adopts three sets system, and the team that reaches eight wins first wins. If the last two matches must be played, the order of the last two doubles matches will be decided by the captain of the lower ranked team before the game.
This World Cup in Chengdu is a restart after the event was suspended for two years. But it adopts a brand-new competition system, which will test the comprehensive level of the team and is undoubtedly beneficial to the powerful national table tennis. However, there are also many powerful rivals in outsourcing. For example, after ITTF announced that it would introduce world ranking points, Japan, which had previously made it clear that it would not participate in the competition, became one of them.
