Each country could exhibit up to 2 people in each discipline. Both results in each type of throwing counted for the team, after which they were transferred to points using the IAAF International Results Translation Table. The winners and prize-winners in the team standings were determined by the sum of the points received. In addition, for the only time in history, results were summed up in the general (mixed) classification after summing up the results of men and women.
