Tournament details

Dates	25 – 31 March 9 – 15 April
Teams	12
Venue(s)	2 (in 2 host cities)

The Division I Group A tournament was held in Ventspils, Latvia, from March 25 to 31. The winner, the Czech Republic, is promoted to the top division for 2013, while the bottom-ranked team, Kazakhstan, is relegated to Group B for 2013.

Group B was contested from April 9 to 15 at Hull, Great Britain. The winner, Denmark, moves up to Group A for 2013, while the last placed team Italy is relegated to Division II Group A. Denmark won the three way tie-breaker with France and China by virtue of having a superior goal differential in the games those three nations played against each other (Denmark +3, China +1, France −4). Relegation was decided in similar fashion, by breaking a three way tie between Great Britain (+4), the Netherlands (−1), and Italy (−3).

In 2011 these tournaments were known as Division I and Division II.
