From wiki:

Following the completion of the preliminary round, all teams will be ranked 1D through 12D. The criteria used to determine this ranking will be higher position in the group, higher number of points, better goal difference, higher number of goals scored for, and better 2009 IIHF World Ranking. The top four ranked teams (1D–4D) will receive byes to the quarterfinals, with the remaining eight teams playing for the remaining four quarterfinal positions. The winning teams will be re-ranked E1 through E4, with the winner of 5D vs. 12D re-ranked as E1, the winner of 6D vs. 11D re-ranked as E2, the winner of 7D vs. 10D re-ranked as E3, and the winner of 8D vs. 9D re-ranked as E4. The losers of the qualifying round games will receive a final ranking of 9 through 12 based on their preliminary round ranking.
