That's correct.
I actually quite like this format. There is a different benefit/incentive for finishing in each spot 1 though 5. I think that it adds some interesting story lines when there aren't as many teams involved.
This is similar to Australian Football playoffs, and I believe that curling uses it and it is called a "page playoff".
