A country’s position within its group is determined by number of ties won and ties played. If three teams are tied with the same number of tie wins, then the team having played fewer total matches (singles and mixed doubles) will be eliminated and the winner of the head-to-head matchup between the two remaining teams advance. If still tied then the following procedures decide the group order: the most match wins (singles and doubles), then the highest percentage of matches won, then percentage of sets and then games won.
Determination of best runner-up quarter-final spot: the number of ties won, the number of ties played. In a tie between three teams, the team having played fewer total matches (singles and mixed doubles) will be eliminated and, if still tied then the team with the most match wins (singles and doubles). If still tied then the following procedures decide: the highest percentage of matches won, the highest percentage of sets won, the highest percentage of games won.
