Format
There will be two divisions. In Division 1, the top eight teams from the World Championships will play. They will play a round-robin in April, at pre-selected venues. All other teams can sign up in Division 2, in which each continent will host a qualification tournament. The top two teams from the tournaments will play in an intercontinental tournament. The top-six teams of Division 1 and the top-two teams from Division 2 will compete in the super final, held between 23 and 25 June 2023.[4][5] At the end of the tournament, the last-ranked team will be relegated to Division 2 and the winner of Division 2 will move to Division 1 for the following year. A win will give a team three points, a win after penalties two, a loss after penalites one and a loss after regular time zero points.
