It was initially an open event, but stopped being an open event as the membership grew, and now works by qualification.[1] In 2021, WDBF's membership reached 80 members, all also members of the relevant continental federations.[2]

While foam was the only format used in previous editions, starting with 2022, the Dodgeball World Championship would be contested in two categories, foam and cloth.[3]
