Play-off round

Mexico achieved the best score and apparently moved straight to the final. The other two winners Cuba and Trinidad and Tobago first had to play each other for the other final spot.

Discrepancies

The above results are based on the official account from the CONCACAF.[1] However, RSSSF also reports on the tournament, with (very) different results. The tournament format is different, some scores are, as well as match dates.[2]
