Only one team goes down the year. Germany will be up next year.

how do they determine it? That's what I was really asking. Sorry for the confusion.

No one has heard anything on Brinkley?

Not yet.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

That would be 9-3.

My bad...
Dunno how I misread that

 

[WayneSid9987]

They have relegation rounds every tournament.

So i imagine the last place team goes down and some other tournament is happening elsewhere. (Division II) probably and that winner plays in Division I the following year BUT some players may not be age eligible so their team isn't as strong.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Wow. That was a nice save.

The bottom two countries from each Pool A and Pool B go into the relegation round, you keep the points you earned against the country going to relegation with you, then you play the 2 countries from the other Pool. At the end of the round robin, the country with the lowest points is relegated to Division IA.

Example...
Latvia and Switzerland finish 4th and 5th in Pool A, Denmark and Czechs in Pool B. While in Preliminary Round round Swiss beats Latvia in overtime and Czech beat the Danes in regulation. So entering relegation the standings are this...
Czech...3pts
Swiss....2pts
Latvia....1pts
Danes...0pts

Latvia and Swiss would play each of Denmark and Czech Republic, whoever gains the lowest amounts of points is relegated down to Division IA, the remaning three countries keep their spots in Elite Division.

If you are asking how Germany is coming up, they wont he Division IA Championship earlier this month.
(I really hope this answer your question, sorry if my English was not so great.)

Yea. This. I never knew the specifics like you pointed out. I was trying to find info on it earlier. Thank you for explaining it.

They better stay out of the box. Their weakness.

Do you think your PK is actually this poor, or is it more just some kind of weird synergy kryptonite from Denmark? I can't tell.

That or go back to the collapsable box. The diamond aint doin it but of course they aren't being aggresive one bit.

Right now I would say our PK sucks (gonna be the worst one in the tournament), because I doubt Denmark will score on all their power play opportunities.

I'm leaning on the weird synergy kryptonite from Denmark part.
