The Second Roller In-line Hockey World Championship was the second such event organized by the Fédération Internationale de Roller Skating. It was hosted by Italy in Roccaraso. Ten national teams competed in one venue, the Roccaraso Palaghiaccio. The competition also served as qualifications for the third competition.

The United States, for the second consecutive year, went undefeated throughout the championship and captured its second gold medal by defeating France 7–1 in the final.[1] Italy captured the bronze medal with a 6–0 victory over Austria.

Host selection

[edit]

The venue listed as host for the inline hockey teams was the Roccaraso Palaghiaccio "G Bolino".

Rosters

[edit]

Each team's roster consists of at least 6 skaters (forwards and defencemen) and two goaltenders, and at most 14 skaters and two goaltenders. All twelve participating nations, through the confirmation of their respective national associations, have to submit a roster by the start of the competition.

Format

[edit]

The ten teams were divided into two pools of which the four best in each advanced to the medal round. There they met cross-over as indicated in the section below. The remaining teams played additional matches to determine their overall championship position.

In the round robin pool play, points were awarded as follows:

  • 2 points for a win (W)
  • 1 point for a tie (T)
  • 0 points for a loss (L)
  • –2 points for a forfeit (F)

If two or more teams finished with an equal number of points during pool play, the team's position is determined by the following tiebreaking formula:

  1. The victor of the head-to-head competition
  2. The lowest total of goals allowed in common wins among the tied teams
  3. A shootout will take place.

Final ranking: places 1–4 were determined by the medal games. Places 5–10 were determined by the 5/10 placement round.
