2011 IIHF World ChampionshipSchedule & Playing Mode |
Format The 16 teams are divided into four groups in the Preliminary Round.
After a single round-robin series in each group, the top three teams from each group advance to the Qualification Round while the fourth-placed team in each group moves to the Relegation Round. The Qualification Round consists of two groups (E=A+D and F=B+C) with six teams each, playing a single round robin. The teams carry the points from the Preliminary Round with the teams that they played and advance with. Teams, which have played in the Preliminary Round, do not meet again in the Qualification Round. The Quarterfinals will be played cross-over. The first-place team in each Qualification Round group
plays the fourth-place team from the other group, while the second-place team plays the third-place team from the other Qualification Round group. 1E-4F, 2E-3F, 1F-4E, 2F-3E. The winning teams advance to the semi-finals. Relegation format The four last-placed teams will continue to play in the Relegation Round. The two relegated teams will be determined by round-robin. The best two teams will return to the 2012 World Championship in Finland and Sweden. The teams promoted to the 2012 World Championship will be the Division I winners.
