Seeding and groups

The seeding in the preliminary round was based on the final standings at the 2007 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship. [2] The World Championship groups are named Group A and Group B while the 2008 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship Division I tournament uses Group C and Group D, as both tournaments were held in Bratislava, Slovakia. [2] The teams were grouped accordingly by seeding at the previous year's tournament (in parentheses is the corresponding seeding): [2]

Preliminary round

Eight participating teams were placed in the following two groups. After playing a round-robin, the top three teams in each group advance to the playoff round. The last team in each group compete in the qualifying round where they face-off against the top ranked teams of Group C and Group D from the Division I tournament for a chance to participate in the Top Division playoffs. [2]

All times are local (UTC+2).
