Third edit
As there was only three teams from Pool A as opposed to the four from Pool B, the second-placed team from Pool B ( Chinese Taipei) had no equivalent to play against. Thus the Taiwanese were automatically allocated third place.
Relegation play-offs edit
The last and second-to-last placed teams of each pool were placed against each other in two head-to-head rounds. The losing team of the rounds were relegated to Group II for next year.
