I believe the M Worlds are the only tournament with the serpentine system not based by last tournament standing but the actual World ranking. But I am not 100% sure, now, I´ll look later if they changed it or not

 

Anyway even on the Worlds standing it would be impossibe 14th GB would be with 15th BLR, 16th ITA would be with 13th & 12th

So here are the Groups for 2022

 

the only change is CAN/FIN, Canada is now in Group A, Finalnd in Group B, but if Finland win the world title here and CAN finish 4th they will move ahead of Canada in the world rankng and play in group A and canada will play in B

 

A: 

Canada or Finland

USA

Germany

Switzerland

Slovakia

Denmark

Kazakhstan

Italy

 

B:

Finland or Canada

Russia (also next year will have to play as ROC)

Czech Republic

Sweden

Latvia

Norway

Belarus

Great Britain

 

Remember there also a rule, the host country can swap one neighbouring country if they want to the other group (in this case SWE with SUI or NOR with DEN) but it happened only rarely due economical question with fullfiling both arenas thanks fans from neighboring countries.

IIHF Ranking after this WCh

1. CAN 3135 points*

2. FIN 3065 *

3. RUS 3050

4. USA 2925*

5. GER 2905*

6. CZE 2895

7. SWE 2880

8. SUI 2815

9. SVK 2670

10. LAT 2560

11. NOR 2490

12. DEN 2470

13. KAZ 2365

14. BLR 2320

15. GBR 2280

16. ITA 2280

 

USA and Germany can not overtake Russia, so they will finish 4th and 5th and play in the same group. Only Finland can pass Canada in first place if they win the title and Canada finish 4th

 

In case of tie of points for GB and Italy the tie breaker is better final standing at the last championship, GB 14th, Italy 16th.
