The tournament was played in a round robin format instead of the usual knockout competition on each of the six occasions that it was played in Los Angeles, and a knockout format when played at Sydney in 1958. At the 1964 and 1965 editions the round robin stage was followed by a semifinal and final round.[1] The event was played on hard cement tennis court's at the L.A.
