RESULTS

Lebanon's forfeit to Israel did not earn them the usual 1 standings point for a loss.


Classification round 1

The first classification round was played in two round-robin groups. Teams advanced into the second classification round depending on their results in the first round--first and second place teams played in the 9-12 segment of classification round 2 while third and fourth place teams played for 13th to 16th places. The fifth place team (one group had 5 teams, the other had 4) received 17th place.
