'''Notes:''' <br />
'''Notes:''' <br />
† Japan's share of the quota distribution from the Top 32 shuffle is likely to shuffle back to the Rest of World first.
South Korea and Switzerland did have registered participants that had to desist. Total attendance is thus 224 players from 25 countries (not 27).
Quotas can then shift from one region to another based on responses received by the WRC staff from various organizations and individuals. As of July 10, 2017, Japan has filled 80 seats with 16 of their 20 berths awarded from WRC2014.
Asterisks indicate unused berths.

==Summary of results by country==
As there is no official rankings by country available, the table below is presenting the best, average, median and worst scores, as well as a composite score (the average of all four). Players placing equally with another player are ranked as a half-rank lower, in order to maintain statistical comparability.
