The score only decides which teams get into the final. In the final, however, all teams had exactly the same chances of winning.
This table only lists the teams up to and including the last team that played at least 3 tournaments. The teams with a yellow background are qualified for the final.
The eight teams were divided into 2 groups. Within this group everyone played against everyone once. The winners of the two groups then played against the runner-up in the other group. The other teams played against the team from the other group on the same rank. The two losers from the semi-finals then played for third place, the two winners for the World Cup victory.
