I am glad to report that Stelrad has defeated Bonne Chance.

Given Yiannakos' previous message, hopefully this has alleviated some head-rubbing calculations now?!

Well you certainly kept us on tenterhooks, and as it happens in the tournament  

I'm off to get another bottle of gin and some ice packs for the next bout of number crunching.

UK1 come from behind to equalise Canada 8-8 (in dramatic fashion, well into added time)

After Match Day 2

1. UK1................3 points...17-15.....531
2. Netherlands...2 points...17-15.....531
3. USA1.............2 points....16-16....500
4. Canada.........1 point......14-18....438

1. UK1 - Go through with a draw v. Holland. Should they lose, they can still go through provided Canada win the other group match by 9-7.
2. Netherlands - Go through with a victory. Should they draw, they can still go through if the other group game ends in a draw or Canada win 9-7 or 10-6.
3. USA1 - Go through with a victory. Any other result will eliminate them.
4. Canada - Go through with a 10-6 victory and a 10-6 Netherlands win. Should they win 10-6 and the Netherlands win 9-7, we will have a playoff game between UK1 and Canada.

I think I got this right...

USA can go through on win percentage with a draw against Canada if UK loses 6-10.

I think there may need to be a stewards' enquiry here.  

I am off to give some pep talks where required.

Yes, should the USA1 team draw and the Netherlands win 10-6, then the Netherlands and USA1 will go through from Group C.
Thanks for the correction!
