For a win after regular time each team received three points, for a win after overtime two points, for a defeat after overtime one point and for a defeat after regular time zero points. In contrast to international practice, the regular playing time was only 50 minutes, as only a quarter of an hour was played in the first two sections of the game and only the final third lasted 20 minutes.
