Main round table

Three points are awarded to a team for a win after normal playing time, if the game is a draw after 60 minutes, both teams receive one point, the winner of the five-minute extra time (only with three against three field players) or after a necessary penalty shoot-out receives another point credited. If a team loses in regular time, it does not receive any points.
