After a single round-robin series in each group, the top four teams from each group advance to the Playoff Round while the fifth-placed team in each group moves to the Relegation Round. The top four placed teams from the Preliminary will play a cross-over Quarter-final game: 1A vs. 4B, 1B vs. 4A, 2A vs. 3B and 2B vs. 3A. If qualified, Sweden will play the late quarter-final at Scandinavium. In the semi-finals the best-ranked team - criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2) points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round, 5) seeding coming into the tournament - will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist.

The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games. The winner of each Semi-Final game will move onto the Gold Medal Game, while the losers will play in the Bronze Medal Game. The quarter-final losers will be ranked 5th to 8th according to 1. their position in the group, 2. their preliminary-round record (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. goals scored).

@heywoodu ya bunch of bullies !

Fun Fact was released by our Olympic Committee on its site today. I had no idea about it as well. It is exactly 50 years since last time a European player was in the W Singles World Championship Final, and believe it or not it was a Slovak player (under Czechoslovakia at that time obviously) Photo (Courtesy of SOŠV Slovak NOC website): In 1973 at the Sarajevo World Champs Alica Grofová faced Chinese Hu Yulan in the W Singles Final, Who would have thought at that day that for the next half of Century it will be the last European appearance in this discipline Gold Medal Match at the WCh.

Yes, it should be fine this time... but due to the experience from the previous Olympics, well, we will still remain in alert if you do not mind until the very end. He also had Tokyo basically during the entire qualification in the bag but somehow finally lost that quota in the very last race by a couple of silly places in the semi-finals
