  2. greater number of plus goals in all matches
  3. alphabetic order

After the completion of the preliminary and main round matches:

  1. better results in points gained in the direct encounter of the teams
  2. higher goal difference in the direct encounter of the teams
  3. greater number of plus goals in the direct encounter of the teams
  4. goal difference in all matches (achieved by subtraction)
  5. greater number of plus goals in all matches

Qualification matches were played from September 2009 to May 2010.[1] Following the new system introduced for the 2010 Men's Championship, all teams were included in the qualification round, except host Denmark and defending champion and host Norway. Teams were divided in 7 groups and the two top ranked teams from each group qualified.
