* In September 2023, the allocation of the men's groups were reorganized following the late entry of the Sri Lanka national team as the 
Independent Athletes. The Sri Lanka team competed under the OCA flag just in rugby sevens due to their national rugby federation's suspension. The OCA team replaced Malaysia in Pool B as a 2nd ranked team and Malaysia instead Nepal in Pool A as a 3rd ranked team. Subsequently, Nepal moved to Pool D as a 4th ranked team.[4]
Women
[edit]The teams were seeded based on their final ranking at the 2022 Asia Rugby Women's Sevens Series.
