The tournament was a direct knock-out playoff. The Canadian team was considered so dominant that it did not participate in the knock-out tournament. Canada was put into the gold medal final game, and the tournament was played to determine an opponent.<ref name="Duplacey">{{cite book |last=Duplacey |first=James |title=Total Hockey: The official encyclopedia of the National Hockey League  |year=1998 |publisher=Total Sports |pages=500–1|isbn=0-8362-7114-9}}</ref>

Warm winter weather melted the ice in [[Chamonix]], [[France]] and forced the [[Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace]] officials to move the tournament to [[Berlin]], [[Germany]], and the [[Sportpalast]] (which had artificial ice). Additionally, the fourth place match was played in [[Vienna]], [[Austria]], making this the only world hockey championship tournament to take place in three different countries.<ref name="Duplacey"/>

The Canadian team lost to Austria 1-0 on February 7 (in [[Vienna]]) in an exhibition match. The loss to Austria was the first time any Canadian team had lost to a European team.<ref>{{cite web|title=Commentary on tournament (in French)|url=http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1930.htm|work=|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/65r57uY58|archivedate=2012-03-01|deadurl=no|accessdate=2012-02-27}}</ref>
