The results to watch for are:
Division D Bratislava (2nd) v Yaroslavl (1st) 25/11/97
Division C K"lner (2nd) v Feldkirch (1st) 09/12/97
If Yaroslavl and Feldkirch both take maximum points from their games (as they did in the previous encounters) we definately qualify. If they take an overtime win we still gan qualify but goal difference etc must be taken into account.
The other team who can qualify is Mannheim (Division B) but they must take at least four points from their games with Leksands (3rd) and Hameenlinna (1st) which I see as highly unlikely.
This is not from an official press release or anything, so if any of it is wrong it is dur to my maths!
