تَنْطَلِقُ أَلْعَابُ الْكُومُنْوِلْثِ فِي مَدِينَةِ غِلَاسْغُو الْأُسْكُتْلَنْدِيَّةِ الْيَوْمَ، الْخَمِيسَ الثَّالِثَ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ يُولْيُو. وَيُقَامُ حَفْلُ الِافْتِتَاحِ فِي قَاعَةِ «هَايْدْرُو» مَسَاءً.

تَسْتَمِرُّ الْأَلْعَابُ حَتَّى يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ، الثَّانِي مِنْ أَغُسْطُسَ. وَيُشَارِكُ فِيهَا مَا يَصِلُ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ رِيَاضِيٍّ وَرِيَاضِيَّةٍ، مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ دَوْلَةً وَإِقْلِيمًا.

يَتَنَافَسُ الْمُشَارِكُونَ فِي عَشْرِ رِيَاضَاتٍ. وَمِنْهَا السِّبَاحَةُ، وَأَلْعَابُ الْقُوَى، وَالْمُلَاكَمَةُ، وَرُكُوبُ الدَّرَّاجَاتِ. وَيَشْمَلُ الْبَرْنَامَجُ سِتَّ رِيَاضَاتٍ لِلرِّيَاضِيِّينَ ذَوِي الْإِعَاقَةِ.

وَيَسْتَخْدِمُ الْمُنَظِّمُونَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَمَاكِنَ رِيَاضِيَّةٍ فِي مِنْطَقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ نِسْبِيًّا. وَهٰذَا يُسَهِّلُ عَلَى الْجُمْهُورِ حُضُورَ مُسَابَقَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ.
