As Ukraine secure their place in the ENC playoffs, Germany, Russia and Slovakia have to battle it out for a spot in the relegation match.
With Germany, Russia and Slovakia all tied at 2nd place with 9 points each, a tie-breaker is scheduled as follows:
-> Germany vs Slovakia 09/07/09 18:30
-> Germany vs Russia 09/07/09 19:45
-> Russia vs Slovakia 07/07/09 20:00
The 1st and 2nd ranked of the tie-break will move on to the relegation.
The relegation matches are held between the 2nd ranked and the 3rd ranked team of Group A against the 3rd and 2nd ranked of Group B, the winners of these matches along with the winner of the groups will qualify for the playoffs.
Sounds complicated, but with an example it is easy to understand:
Russia wins both games of the tie-break.
Slovakia wins against Germany, but loses to Russia.
Germany loses both games.
This means, Russia will face Sweden and Slovakia has to play against Denmark. And the winner of each game moves to the final.
Everything clear now? This is of course hypothetic and we wish all the participants good luck.
Gosubets for all matches will be available soon!! Be sure to participate
