Relegation play-offs edit

Because there was one extra player in Pool B, the last-placed team of that pool (  Norway) was automatically relegated down to Group III.[3] The third-placed teams of each pool were then placed against each other in a tie, where the losing team would join the Norwegians in relegation.
