The score only decides which teams get into the A-final or the B-final. In the final, however, all teams in the A final have the same chances of winning again.
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 first 7 teams were divided into 2 groups with the Asian team. 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.
The teams ranked 8th to 10th played the B final together with the wildcard team. These then played in a simple round-robin tournament for the winner of the B-final.
