This was the last world championships with nine teams in the Top Division. Two teams—Japan and China—were relegated to Division I, replaced by only one—Slovakia—promoted from there. Division I also relegated two, Czech Republic and France, while receiving only one team through promotion, Latvia, along with the two from the top division. Division II only relegated one team, the Netherlands, but did not receive any promoted teams from the lower divisions. The lower divisions of III, IV, and V, were canceled for the 2009 cycle, with the lowest seeded team in each to be dropped down one division. The final result was that the Top Division will be reduced in size by one team for 2011, while the lowest division (Division V) will increase by one team. [2]

Division III, Division IV and Division V edit

The Division III, Division IV and Division V were not played this year. The respective tournaments were cancelled. The reasons seem to be multiple.[6] No country wanted to assume the financial costs of the tournaments. The tournaments will be scheduled for 2011. It has the effect the following changes:

  • Iceland is not promoted to the Division III, but stay in the Division IV.
  • Turkey is now relegated from Division IV to the new Division V.
  • Division V will then consist of Turkey, and the four new nations who were to play in 2009: Bulgaria, Ireland, Poland and Spain.[7]
