Tournament Structure
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases. In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.
