It was contested by four national teams playing twelve games each from October 12 through November 18 in Caracas.

More controversial umpiring played a role in a Cuba–Venezuela game in the final phase of the event.

The Cuban manager protested the call and was told by the umpires that photographers were allowed to intervene in play.

Due to this, Cuba withdrew from the Cup and their remaining game was forfeited; they were credited with a third-place finish nonetheless.

Cuba's withdrawal was closely followed by that of Mexico, who also withdrew from the tournament after more controversial umpiring decisions in favour of Venezuela, forfeiting the final round and finishing second.
