13th–15th place game

As the number of teams in Group C & D was not equal then a ‘mini-tournament’ format will be used to decide the 13th–15th placings. The placings will be calculated by using the two 13th–15th placement matches plus the result from the Group C match between the teams involved.

The matches for 13th–15th place will be played only with regular match time – 3 x 20 minutes. No extra time or penalty shots.
