[edit] Relegation playoffs

The bottom four teams in the regular season standings participated in the relegation playoffs. Each team played four games against each of the other three teams, for a total of 12 games.

As it happened, however, it was eventually decided that relegation and promotion were to be abolished at the start of the 2004–2005 season, so no teams were relegated, and this relegation playoff turned out to be a purely academic exercise.

Team Wins Losses Points
Shanghai 7 5 19
Beijing Wanfeng Aote 7 5 19
Zhejiang 6 6 18
Liaoning 4 8 12

[edit] Final rankings

The final rankings differ from the regular season standings, because the first four places were determined by the results of the playoffs, while the last four places were determined by the relegation playoff.

At the end of the year, Beijing Shougang (Ducks) were apparently referred to as Beijing Wanfeng Aote (presumably a change of corporate sponsorship).

  1. Guangdong Hongyuan
  2. Bayi Shuanglu
  3. Jiangsu Nangang
  4. Jilin Tonggang
  5. Xinjiang Guanghui
  6. Shandong Jinsidun
  7. Beijing Aoshen
  8. Shaanxi Gaitianli
  9. Shanghai Dongfang
  10. Beijing Wanfeng Aote (万丰奥特)
  11. Zhejiang Wanma
  12. Liaoning Panpan
