Playoff round

All eight teams advanced into the playoff round and were seeded into the quarterfinals according to their result in the preliminary round. The winning quarter finalists advanced through to the semifinals, while the losing teams moved through to the placement round. Austria and Bulgaria were relegated to the European Qualification after losing their placement round games and finished the tournament in seventh and eighth respectively. After winning their placement round games Latvia and Hungary competed in the relegation game with Latvia being relegated to the European Qualification after losing 3–4. The number of teams relegated to the Qualification tournaments was increased from two to three due to a change in format by the IIHF. The change means that three qualification tournaments will be held in the even years, starting in 2016, and the World Championships will be held in the odd years, starting in 2017. The qualification tournaments have been restructured into three regions to lower travel costs with the regions now being Africa / South America, Asia / Oceania, and Europe / North America. [7] In the semifinals Australia defeated Great Britain and Croatia beat Argentina, both advancing to the gold medal game. After losing the semifinals Great Britain and Argentina played off for the bronze medal with Great Britain winning 3–2. Croatia defeated Australia 5–4 in overtime in the gold medal game and earned promotion to the 2017 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship. [7] [8]
