Major tournaments
In the major tournaments, there will be twenty teams divided into two groups of ten. In the Winter Championships, each team will play nine preliminary games, while in the Summer Championships, each team will play five. The top four teams in each group, eight in total, will qualify for the playoffs. Each round of the playoffs is a one game series. Teams which get eliminated in the semifinals will play in the bronze medal game, while the winners of the semifinals will play in the finals.

The bottom four teams of the Winter Championship will be relegated to the Spring Qualification Rounds. All other teams will automatically qualify for the Summer Championship.

In the Winter Championship, all eighteen or nineteen spots, all other spots minus the host or hosts, are available for nations to join.

Whether a team qualifies, gets relegated, or not, is based mostly on goal difference, just like most other tournaments. If two teams are tied in goal difference, the team with more goals scored will rank higher than the other team.

Spring Qualification Rounds
In the Spring Qualification Rounds, there will be twelve teams divided into two groups of six. Four of those teams will have been relegated from the Winter Championship, with the other eight spots available for nations to join. Each team will play ten preliminary games.

Usually, the top two teams in each group, four teams in total will qualify for the Summer Championship, unless the host of the Summer Championship did not play in the Winter Championship. In that case, the top one in each group, or the top one in one group and the top two in another group, two or three teams in total, will qualify, depending on how many countries are hosting the next tournament.

Whether a team qualifies or not is based mostly on goal difference, just like most other tournaments. If two teams are tied in goal difference, the team with more goals scored will rank higher than the other team.

World Cup of Hockey
In the World Cup of Hockey, there will be eight teams divided into two groups of four. All eight teams will have qualified in their own ways. The top three teams of both the previous Winter and Summer Championships, as well as the host nation, and the host of the next Winter Championship, will automatically qualify for the World Cup of Hockey.

Each team will play three games in the preliminary rounds. The top two teams in each group, four teams in total, will qualify for the playoffs. Each round of the playoffs is a one game series. Teams which get eliminated in the semifinals will play in the bronze medal game, while the winners of the semifinals will play in the finals.

Whether a team qualifies or not is based mostly on goal difference, just like most other tournaments. If two teams are tied in goal difference, the team with more goals scored will rank higher than the other team.
