Round One

All times are local (UTC+01:00)

If a game is won, the winning team receives 5 points. A draw results in both teams receiving 2 points. A loss gives the losing team 1 point unless the losing team loses with more than 3 goals, then they receive 0 points.

The Euro Hockey League trialed a new scoring system for the season 2017–18:[6]

  • For every Field Goal and a Penalty Stroke Goal scored in a match NOT resulting from a Penalty Corner = 2 goals
  • For every Penalty Corner scored in a match = 1 goal
  • For every goal scored from a Penalty Stroke resulting from a Penalty Corner situation = 1 goal
  • In a shoot-out competition a goal from a direct Shoot-out and a Penalty Stroke = 1 goal
