In 2016 the World Championships took place in Stuttgart for the third time after 1959 and 2010 and, as in 2010, they were held again in the Porsche Arena .

Bike ball

A two-man team competition was held for the men.

mode

The tournament consists of two groups: Group A with the six strongest nations from the previous year and Group B with seven weaker teams.

In both groups there was a round in which everyone played against everyone once. In the intermediate round of the group A teams, the team placed second in the preliminary round meets the fifth placed and the third placed fourth. The two winners of this intermediate round and the winner of the preliminary round qualify for the semi-finals.
In the first semi-final, the winner of the preliminary round meets the winner from the game between the second and fifth place. The loser of this game must play in a second semi-final against the winner from the game between the third and fourth placed. The two winners from the semi-finals ultimately play the world champion in the final. The winner of group B finally competes against the sixth of the table in group A for promotion or to remain in group A.
