Only the rise of the North Koreans was not affected by this scandal , who also won the final against Armenia with 5: 2 and were able to celebrate their immediate return to Division II after relegation in the previous year.

¹ Since Armenia used players without a license to play, all Armenian games were subsequently canceled and rated 5-0 for the opponents.

Final result of the tournament:

1. North Korea
2. South Africa
3. Mongolia

For the canceled games, the match report sheets, which include the number of spectators and the goal scorers and preparers, have not been published by the IIHF. With the exception of the total number of goals, the statistics therefore relate only to the four rated games.
