Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
Point ratio: the number of points scored divided by the number of points allowed.
