- ^ Great Britain is awarded a spot at the tournament due to the qualification of England.
- ^ Germany still needed to play Catalonia to determine 5th and 6th place, however as the World Games are contested by countries instead of regions, Catalonia were ineligible for qualification. Therefore, Germany was sure of the remaining ticket.
