Based on the number of participating nations, teams are divided into different pools. They play each other in a single round-robin format. The winner of each pool qualifies for the main event.

As of 2024, eight teams qualify for the group stage. Teams are divided into two groups. They play each other in a single round-robin format. The top two teams from each group qualify for the knockout rounds, i.e., semifinals and finals.

A single tie consists of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles events. Each match follows the conventional rules and regulations of Badminton World Federation. A single rubber is played as a best of three sets match. A player or pair wins a set when they win 21 points with a difference of two points. At a score of 20-20, the player who is first to take a clear two points lead wins the set.
