Teams
Due to difficult economic times, the organisation had to decide not to invite reigning champions Cuba.[3] This was announced after the first four teams (Chinese Taipei, Japan, Netherlands, United States) had already signed their contracts.[4] Other teams had also canceled their participation for various reasons, including the inability to send an up-to-par team. As a result, only four teams competed in this tournament instead of the usual six.[5]
