statistics

Placements

• Places 1 to 4 are determined among the best teams in the main round in knockout games.
• Places 5 to 8 were awarded among the losers of the quarter-finals. The ranking followed the results of the four teams in the main round. First of all, the better placement was considered. In the case of tied teams, the higher number of points achieved in the main round decides, and in the case of the same number of points, the better goal difference. If this was also the same, the number of goals scored decided. If this were also the same, the results in the preliminary round would have been used; Ultimately, a drawing of lots would have been necessary.
• The placements of places 9 to 24 were based on the following criteria: The third-placed teams in the four main round groups were placed in places 9-12. The fourth-placed teams were placed on places 13-16. The fifth-placed team were placed on places 17-20. The sixth placed were placed in places 21–24. The number of points decided whether the team was better placed; in the event of a tie, the better goal difference from the preliminary round. If there was also a tie, the higher number of goals scored from the preliminary round was assessed and if there was also a tie, the lot would have been decided.
• Places 25 to 32 were played in the President's Cup.

1The rank is determined by the average "points / game". The total of points is made up as follows: For each : 1 point, For each : 2 points, for each by 3 × : 4 points, for each direct : 15 points and for each : 25 points.
2 Japan incorrectly received one yellow card too high.
3The team from China only played 3 of the 6 games because the team no longer competed due to a COVID-19 case. The other three games, which were also included, were rated 0:10 without a fight; the official IHF statistics are therefore not meaningful here.
4thThe team actually played one less game than listed here. The game against China was rated 10: 0 without a fight because the team from China did not play again due to a positive COVID-19 case; the official IHF statistics are therefore not fully informative here.
