Scroll down a bit to page 2 to see a description of the Different Playoff Format in this World tournament!  
                   
                   
THE DIFFERENT PLAYOFF FORMAT:              
                   
This tournament has a different playoff format.  Just like the Men's tournament!  There are three playoff rounds!  
After the Round Robin, the teams ranked 1st to 6th in the Round Robin standings advance to the playoffs.  
The first playoff round is the Qualifier Round. The 3rd place team plays the 6th place team, and 4th place plays 5th place.
The winners of the Qualifier games advance to the Semifinal Round, the losers are out.        
In the Semifinal Round, the 1st place team meets the lower ranked Qualifier winner; and the 2nd place team plays the  
higher ranked Qualifier winner. This is quite similar to the NHL's playoff format!        
The final playoff round is the Medal Round. The two winners of the Semifinal games advance to the GOLD Medal game;
and the losers of the Semifinal games play in the BRONZE Medal game. And that is it.        
                   
So! Pick the 4 different teams you think will play in the Qualifier matches, and pick your winners.      
Then pick the 4 different teams you think will play in the Semifinal matches, and pick your winners.      
And finally pick the 4 different teams you think will play in the Medal matches, and pick your winners.      
Finally, apply each of the "Available Points" to every one of your picks, using each number only once.      
Points for this pool go from 1 to 30, then 35, 40, and 45! A little bonus for your top 3 picks!      
                   
NOTE:  Your Qualifier Round Picks are interchangeable! If you pick the winners in either order, you get your full points.
Same applies to your Semifinal Round picks. Did this because it's not clear which Qualifier or Semifinal is played first.  
And if your teams don't win, you still get 1/2 points for each of your teams that actually play in those rounds.  
                   
The Medal Round is different. You must place teams in the exact Medal game to get the most points! You will get  
full points for picking the exact winners of the Bronze and Gold matches; you will get 1/2 points for placing teams in  
the exact Medal match; and finally you will still get 1/4 points for placing teams in the wrong medal match!  
                   
That's the playoffs! They're slightly different from the usual. But just pick 4 teams in each round, and you're set!
