Relegation Round
The relegation round was played as a best-of-three playoff . The Czech Republic sweep hence rendered the last game unnecessary.[ 2]
This is the first time any Russian national team has ever been officially relegated since the country began international competition in 1954 as part of the Soviet Union.[ 3] senior Russian women's team finished the 2005 World Championships in a relegation position, but an expansion of the 2007 tournament to nine teams in 2007 granted them a reprieve.)
Russia is relegated to Division I for the 2011 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship .
