This year we have 11 participants again—the same ones as last year plus one: AUT, BOH, DEN, FIN, GBR, GER, HUN, NED, NOR, RUS, SWE. Thus we need a preliminary round of 3 matches. The semi-finalists from last year, RUS, NOR, FIN and SWE are exempt from the preliminary round. The draw is as follows: GBR-HUN, BOH-NED, GER-DEN. The matches:
Britain-Hungary 0-5
Bohemia-Netherlands 0-4
Germany-Denmark 3-2
The first round proper (and quarter final) then consists of AUT, FIN, GER, HUN, NED, NOR, RUS, SWE. The finalists from last year, FIN and NOR, are seeded and cannot be drawn against each other. The draw is as follows: NOR-SWE, AUT-NED, FIN-GER, HUN-RUS. Results of the matches:
Norway-Sweden 6-0
