Format
There were two divisions. In Division 1, the top eight teams from the World Championships played. They played a round-robin in April, at pre-selected venues. All other teams could sign up in Division 2, in which each continent hosted a qualification tournament. The top two teams from the tournaments played in an intercontinental tournament. The top-six teams of Division 1 and the top-two teams from Division 2 competed in the super final, held between 23 and 25 June 2023.[5][6] At the end of the tournament, the last-ranked team was relegated to Division 2 and the winner of Division 2 moved to Division 1 for the following year. A win gave a team three points, a win after penalties two, a loss after penalites one and a loss after regular time zero points.[7]
Division 1
The draw was held on 1 December 2022.[8] The first tournament was played from 11 to 13 April in Rotterdam, Netherlands and the second tournament between 19 and 21 April 2023 in Athens, Greece.[6] The top four teams from the first tournament qualified for the super final but participated in the second tournament as well, where the last two spots were played out.[2]
Round 1
The top-two teams from both groups qualified for the super final. All teams participated in the second tournament.
All times are local (UTC+2).
