How are points granted in Pro Kabaddi League 11?
If a team wins outrightly then they claim five points for each victory.
In case the match ends up with both teams tied on the same score then each of the two teams will walk off with three points.
In case a team loses the match by less than seven points then they take a consolation point home. For instance, Puneri Paltan lost to Telugu Titans by 33-34 margin. Hence, the Pune outfit was awarded a single point. Even if they would have lost the match at 28-34 then also they would take that one point.
