3rd position = 46 points 4th position = 44 points 5th position = 42 points 7th position = 40 points 9th position = 38 points

Example: If a team wins all their singles matches, they will get 600 points at the end (50 points x 12 players). This is the same for doubles and quads.

After all the divisions are complete, the points from all three divisions (singles, doubles, quads) will be added up to find the overall winners.
