Therefore there is a total of 10 matches. After every match, 2 points were distributed between two teams as:
Case1: One of team wins:
Winning team will get 2 points.
Case2: Match ends up in a draw
Both teams will share a point.
Therefore 10*2 = 20 points should be the sum of all team points.
6 + 5 + 4 + 2 + ? =20
? = 3
