There are two exceptions: first:

The countries of the fourth tier will not be downgraded anymore because they are already the lowest level; Second: The eight countries that won the first tier of each region (four from Europe, Africa, the Americas, and two from Asia and Oceania) and the eight countries that lost in the first round of the World Group will compete in the World Group Lift. In the World Group Lift, the winning country enters the World Group the following year, while the losing country returns to the first tier of each regional group the following year.

Due to the increasing number of participating countries, from 1923 onwards it was divided into the Americas and Europe, with the two regions having a regional preliminary round and then a final. In 1981, the system of relegation and relegation competition was introduced.

In 1952, due to the increase in the number of participating teams, in addition to the original American zone and the European zone, an Oriental zone was added, which was divided into three zones to conduct the preliminary round first, and then produce the second champion team, and then challenge the previous champion team. In 1966, the number of European teams increased dramatically, and it was divided into four zones from three zones, namely the Americas, the East, Europe A, and Europe B (African countries participated in Europe B). In 1970, a committee was set up to discuss reform of the rules of the competition, but many countries decided that it would be unfair for the defending country to take on a tired challenge team, so a resolution was passed in 1971 to cancel it"Challenges"system, since 1972 the champion team has had to start the tournament from the first round without exception, and as for the choice of the final venue, it is decided by drawing.

Two additional groups in the African zone and two in the European zone were added. The level of 2 groups in all districts is lower in this district.

In this way, the Asia-Pacific Zone 1 Group, the Americas Zone 1 and the Europe-Africa Zone 1 Zone A and Zone B, each of the 2 teams that qualified, a total of 8 teams, entered the World Group Qualifiers, and the 16 teams in the World Group that year were eliminated in the first round of the 8 teams drew lots to match, catch each other, the winner rose to the second year of the World Group, became the top 16 to compete for the Davis Cup, and the loser returned to the 1st group of each region and fought for the second year.
