mode

The ice hockey world championship is played in a total of six tournaments with different levels of participants. The top division plays with ten teams, divisions I and II with twelve each and division III with seven participants.

In Divisions I and II, the twelve teams are divided into two groups of six teams. Division III plays due to the return of Bulgaria and Israel this year in a group with seven teams.

From the top division only the last placed in the relegation round descends into division IA. For this reason, only the first placed will be promoted to the top division next year, while the sixth placed will be relegated to the IB division. In return, the winner of Division IB moves up to Division IA. The last one from Division IB is also relegated to Division II A. The promotion regulation of Division IB with one promoted and relegated also applies to Division II A and II B. There is no direct relegated from Division III in this sense. Depending on a possible qualification for Division III, the last two teams in Division III of the previous year must compete with the newly registered national teams in the qualification in order to play out the free place.
