The tournament saw the first tie-breaker matches to be played with Thailand defeating Malaya to book a spot in the championship round.

In the championship round, the Philippines and Taiwan finish level with an 8–2 record.

In that final match, the Philippines would claim their second title, defeating Taiwan, 91–77.

Third was South Korea, who had defeated the play-off teams at least once during the tournament.

Since Taiwan and the Philippines were level on points, a play-off game for the championship was required.
