The winning teams took different routes to win the title. Korea's Lee Mi Ryung, Lee Seung Ree and Sim Ui-Jin (pictured right) earned the No. 1 seed after the six-game preliminaries with a 210.44 average, the highest in both men's and women's competition. In the opening match, Korea flew past Japan, 623-515 and Chinese Taipei's Pan Yu-Fen, Chen Kuan-Ting and Chang Yu-Hsuan, seeded second, defeated their team mates, 640-600.

In a surprisingly low-scoring championship match, the Koreans cruised to the title with a 567-540 victory. Chinese Taipei earned silver and shared the bronze with Japan.

The second trio from Korea with 2-time gold medalist Park Ju Young (Singles and Doubles) and her doubles partner Kim Hyun Mi missed the cut to the top 4 in fifth place by 36 pins.

Guam stunned top seeded Chinese Taipei in the opening match defeating the spinners, 589-563. Meanwhile second seeded Macau with Jose Manuel Machon, Tak Man Lee and Io Fai Cho ousted Japan, 602-544, to advance to the title match.

After 190 frames, both Guam and Macau where deadlocked at 568 each and a one-ball roll-off must determine the champion. Both team selected their anchor bowler, Jay Leon Guerrero (Guam) and Io Fai Cho (Macau) for the job. Fai Cho got a six-count and Guerrero, who had the lowest score of all six bowlers in the final (156) sealed the victory with a strike.

Macau earned the silver medal and Chinese Taipei shared the bronze with Japan.
