[wwvdw]

It's a total mess. In the tournament schedule notes it says it's a bracket-style tournament....

So if Sweden, Canada, USA and Russia win their quarter final games the semi-finals will be
Sweden vs Russia and Canada vs USA?

 

[Pouchkine]

I am hearing there will be a made for TV draw tomorrow afternoon.

 

[FinPanda]

What time?

No clue, I'd think the Canada game will be the later one because of time difference but idk.

 

[FinPanda]

Canada vs Finland will be the later game. Confirmed.

So are these the semi-final seeds:

1 - Sweden
2 - Canada
3 - Switzerland
4 - USA
5 - Finland
6 - Russia
7 - Czech Republic
8 - Slovakia

So let’s say Sweden and Canada win their quarters.

Sweden will play the lowest seed remaining. So if Russia beats Switzerland, it’s Sweden-Russia and Canada-USA/Finland

This may not be right idk

Bout time they did something right.

Well Putin controls everything including the president of the United States
