Relegation play-offs[edit]

Because there was one extra player in Pool B, the last-placed team of that pool ( Latvia) was automatically relegated down to Group III.[3] The third-placed teams of each pool were then placed against each other in a tie, where the losing team would join the Latvians in relegation.

  •  Lithuania and  Poland advanced to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I for the next year. The Poles placed third overall, while the Lithuanians placed last in their pool of four and lost their play-offs, and thus faced relegation back to Group II for 2007.[5][6]
  •  Ireland and  Latvia were relegated down to Europe/Africa Zone Group III for the next year. The Irish and Latvians respectively placed first and second in the same pool of five, meaning that Latvia would remain in Group III for 2008, while Ireland would advance back to Group II.[7][8]
