  • Tie breaking
      • The Swedish rules regarding tie breaking agree since last year with the ITHF rules so that head-to-head results count first in all group stages.

      Sort parameters:
      1) Points
      2) head-to-head
      3) Goal difference
      4) Scored goals
      5) victories

      Head-to-head means that a separate table is made out of the results between the tied players. This table is ordered by points, goal difference, scored goals and victories, and then further head-to-head tables if necessary.
