Division B (Bibione, Italy) – 16–17 July

The games were played on 16 and 17 July 2010 in Bibione, Italy. Turkey won and qualified for the Promotional Final.
Andorra were originally supposed to compete in stage 4 as part of a regular three-team Division B event, but withdrew. In order to ensure the remaining participants still played two matches as organised, despite Andorra's absence, BSWW simply changed the fixture schedule to have Turkey and Norway play each other twice.
Since both teams were competing in Bibione as part of the 2011 World Cup qualifiers, BSWW staged the games there rather than unnecessarily having the squads travel to the Hague merely a week later.
