Post-tournament edit

United States: Promoted to 2010 Division Four[4]
Bahrain& 
Singapore: Remain in 2012 Division Five[4]
Jersey & 
Fiji: Relegated to 2011 Division Six[4]
The match between the US and Nepal on 26 February was under investigation by the ICC for the crowd trouble and the calculations of the net-run rate which denied Singapore promotion to Division 4.[5] On 9 May, the ICC released a report, which upheld the umpires decisions during the match and retained the outcome of the tournament.[6]
