The six nation hockey tournament, held in Britain, had six countries participating - Britain, Argentina, Germany, Australia, India and Pakistan. The tournament comprised five rounds, such that every team played exactly one match with every team. For every win, a team gets 5 points. If the team won by a margin of 2 or more goals, it got another bonus point. For a draw, the team got 2 points and for a loss, it did not get any points.
