There was also a restructuring of the lower divisions in the women's division. The former B World Championship was renamed Division I, the qualification for the B World Championship in Division II. In addition, Division I should be reduced from eight to six participants, so that there were two relegated and no promoted this season. Division II should also play with six teams in the future, so a qualification with ten teams took place in 2001. For the surplus teams, a Division III was introduced from 2003, in which six of the ten teams had to be relegated this season.
