If two or more teams are equal on points after the completion of the main round matches, their ranking is determined as follows:
a) Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played amongst the teams in question
b) Superior goal difference from the group matches played amongst the teams in question
c) Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played amongst the teams in question
d) Superior goal difference from all group matches (achieved by subtraction)
e) Higher number of goals scored in all group matches
If the ranking of one of these teams is determined, the criteria are consecutively followed until the ranking of all teams is determined.
If this procedure does not lead to a decision after completion of all main round matches, a draw must decide the ranking. The draw must be carried out by the EHF, if possible, in the presence of at least one team official per delegation concerned.
