Team USA has sent two teams, the Stars and the Stripes. Here are the members of those teams:
Stars: Neil Furman (Colorado), Abe Kaplan (Georgia), Earl Shaner (Florida), Scott Roberts (California)
Stripes: Jim Olson (California), Gary Fischer (California), Phil Dunn (California), Aaron Zangl (California)
For the Hong Kong portion of the tournament, there are 5 games on the first day. A game consists of 8 ends. The ends are divided into 3 skins. The first two skins are 3 ends, and the last skin is 2 ends. Winning a skin gets your team 2 points, and winnign the match gets you 2 more points. So there are 8 points available every match, and 40 points maximum.
There are 72 teams in Hong Kong. After the first day, the top 36 teams will go into the Cup portion, and the bottom 36 teams go into the Plate portion. All points are wiped out from the first day.
The second day, teams are grouped into 6 groups of 6 teams in the Cup and Plate portions. There will be a round-robin between each group, for 5 games. The games are 8 ends, but no skins. There are only wins and losses, with points scored.
