Rules

Preliminary Round

Sixteen participating teams were placed in the following four groups. After playing a round-robin, the top three teams in each group will advance to the Qualifying Round while the last team will compete in the Relegation Round.

Group C

Group D

Qualifying Round

The top three teams in the standings of each group of the Preliminary Round advances to the Qualifying Round, and are placed in two groups: teams from Groups A and D compete in Group E, while teams from Groups B and C compete in Group F.

Each team is to play three games in this round, one against each of the three teams from the other group with which they have been paired. These three games, along with the two games already played against the other two advancing teams from the same group in the Preliminary Round, will count in the Qualifying Round standings.

The top four teams in both groups E and F will advance to the Playoff Round.

Relegation Round

The top two teams in the standings after the round-robin will be invited back to the 2010 IIHF World Championship, while the bottom two teams will be relegated to the 2010 Division I tournament.
