- 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:

- Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
