The group worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the '''total points'''. Points were awarded as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/5/Super_Fours_2005.html |title=Super Fours 2005 Table |website=Cricket Archive |accessdate=22 January 2021}}</ref>
