Only the top two teams per pool will have a chance at earning medals.  On Saturday, the #1 team in Pool "B" will play against the #2 team from Pool "A" in the first crossover game, immediately followed by a match between the top team in the "A "Pool vs. the second ranked team from Pool "B". Earlier games will be held for those ranked 3rd - 6th in their respective pools.

Meanwhile we have engaged the Austrians in Gothenburg. A victory here assures us a chance at the medal round and will be a warm up match prior to meeting our southern neighbours in the toughest game of the pool.
