Scotland's hopes of winning the Netball World Cup were ended by a crushing 71-24 defeat by Jamaica in their third and final Pool B game in Sydney.
Gail Parata's side were outscored in every quarter, with Jhaniele Fowler-Reid scoring 59 of her side's goals.
A third-place Pool B finish means they enter the play-offs to determine their finishing spot between fifth and 16th.
Wales sealed top spot in Pool D and maintained their 100% record with a 49-47 win over Uganda.

Round two of the competition in Sydney starts on Tuesday, when the 16 nations split into four pools of four teams. |
The first two pools are made up of the teams who finished in the top two of their preliminary-round groups, and a round-robin format will decide who progresses to the semi-finals. |
The other two pools will filter into the play-offs for the placing matches. |
A faultless shooting display in the final period by Chelsea Lewis and Emma Thomas, who hit all 14 of her shots in the game, pushed Wales to victory and a spot in a pool containing England, South Africa and holders Australia.
In Pool D's other match, Fiji beat Zambia 59-51, although both sides are destined for the play-offs for the placing matches.
In Pool C, South Africa qualified for the top pools with an emphatic 89-17 win over Sri Lanka, who finished bottom with three defeats.
