Competition format

[edit]

During the previous edition of the World Cup, the FIRS determined to end with the celebration of two different tournaments for divisions A and B, and merged all competitions in a whole event integrated in the World Roller Games.[1] Despite this merge, teams were divided into two different competitions.[2]

For this tournament there would not be golden goals during the overtimes.

World Championship

[edit]

The eight first ranked teams were divided into two groups. All teams would qualify for the quarterfinals.

FIRS Cup

[edit]

The three remaining teams would a double round-robin tournament for determining the final positions.

Teams

[edit]

The 12 participating teams were divided into three competitions according to their positions in the 2016 FIRS Women's Roller Hockey World Cup. The Division B was renamed as FIRS Cup.

The two top seeded teams were drawn in different groups. The draw was held in Barcelona on 5 July 2017.[3]
