Pools A, D, E, and F were played in Brasschaat, Belgium from 21 to 23 October 2011 and the other pools were played in Mülheim, Germany. If a game was won, the winning team received 5 points. A draw resulted in both teams receiving 2 points. A loss gave the losing team 1 point unless the losing team lost by 3 or more goals, then they received 0 points.
