By knowing, having played against, or at least have met the majority of the competing players I hope I can be accurate in my prediction below:
1. Scotland
2. Sweden
3. Norway
4. Canada
5. USA
6. Switzerland
7. China
8. Czech Republic
9. Italy
10. Australia
But it is difficult. Any of the top 4 could win and in a good week, all teams could end up in the playoffs.
