A change in format was implemented for the Top Division. The four best ranked teams from each group of the preliminary round advanced to the quarterfinals, while the last placed teams from each group played a relegation round in a best of three format to determine the relegated team.[5] This format was last used in 2002, except the current tournament will not incorporate playoff games to determine places five through eight.

• the player is of male gender;
• the player was born at the earliest in 1994, and at the latest, in 1999;
• the player is a citizen in the country he represents;
• the player is under the jurisdiction of a national association that is a member of the IIHF.

In case the player has previously played in IIHF-organized competition but wishes to switch national eligibility, he must have played in competitions for four consecutive years in the new country without playing in another country, he must show his move to the new country's national association with an international transfer card, as well as be a citizen of the new country.
