The following points will be awarded per match to each team:- Matches Won 1 point
- Matches Lost 0 points
- Matches Forfeited 0 points
- IN THE CASE OF A TIE:
Set quotient – In the case of equality in the number of points gained by two or several teams, they will be classified in descending order by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.Points quotient – If the tie persists as per the set quotient the teams will be classified in descending order by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.If the tie continues as per the point’s quotient between two teams, the priority will be given to the team, which won the last match between them. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, a new classification of these teams in the terms of (b) and (c) will be made taking into consideration only the matches in which they were opposed to each other.
