      World Hockey Championships

The World Hockey Championships are held every year around May. The championships
are currently comprised of 4 pools. Pool A being the top tournament, which now
consists of the top 16 hockey playing nations. This may change, as in the last
few years the tournament has added teams.
The other Pools, B, C and D, hold the rest of the nations as their rankings
demand.

The IIHF uses a promotion based system, as a winner from one Pool will advance
to the higher Pool the following year. Same system applied for relegation,
as last place teams drop down a Pool.
Some occasions call for qualifying tournaments, where a team doesn't automaticcaly
get relegated or promoted.
 

Below are all the World Championship standings, with all-time rankings of each Pool.
