- ^ Churchill Brothers were deducted one point and awarded two, which were later revoked by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and Churchill Brothers challenges this decision in Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, which was dismissed, preventing further changes in points table.[8]
- ^ The forfeit win originally awarded to Real Kashmir was revoked by CAS in favor of Inter Kashi.[8]
- ^ Head-to-head: Real Kashmir 4, Gokulam Kerala 1
