We play in 2 pools with 5 teams in each pool. The 3 first placed teams in each pool will automatically qualify for Quarterfinals. The 4th and 5th placed teams will meet in two qualifying games to reach the quarterfinals. The loosers of these extra qualifying games will play for 9th and 10th place on Sunday. The winners of the extra qualifying match will play one of the pool winners in quarterfinals. The 2nd placed teams will meet the 3rd placed teams in the other pool.
Stat’s calculation / Poängberäkning
No time-outs allowed in pool games.
In the qualification games, the winning team receives 2 points; the losing team receives 0 points. At a game ending in a draw, each team receives 1 point. The final placing in the qualification round is determined in following order:
1. Points
2. If two teams ends on the same point: Result in mutual game
3. If three or more teams end on the same point: Total difference in goals
4. Most goals made
5. Most won games
6. Lottery
Finals / Slutspel
One time-out allowed per team from extra qualifying game quarterfinals.
Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals can not end in a draw. If the standing at full time is a draw, then a period of 5 minutes ”sudden death” is played, thereafter one shootout each until a winner is determined.
Same player may only take one penalty shot. (Decided when 1 team scores and the other team misses).
