Note re. relegation play-offs
Three teams were due to play in the relegation play-offs, with the worst two being relegated. However, Lithuania and Romania both withdrew before the start of the event (the former due to participate in the relegation play-offs, and the latter having qualified for the Superfinal). Per the tournament regulations, teams withdrawing automatically suffer relegation to Division B. This therefore resolved the outcome of the two teams to be relegated this season, without the play-offs needing to take place. Germany replaced Romania in the Superfinal.
