The 2013 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I consisted of two international ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation . Division I A and Division I B represent the second and third tier of the IIHF Women's World Championship .
Division I Group A
2013 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I A Host country Norway City Stavanger Venue(s) 1 (in 1 host city) Dates 7–13 April 2013 Teams 6 Matches played 15 Goals scored 84 (5.6 per match)
The Division I Group A tournament was played at DNB Arena in Stavanger , Norway, from 7 to 13 April 2013.[ 1]
The winners of this tournament were initially presumed to be promoted to the 2015 Top Division. However, with the Divisions I and II playing in an Olympic year, and the eight Olympic entries being in none of those tournaments, it was determined that the last-placed Olympic team will play a challenge series with the 2014 Division I Group A champion for promotion to the 2015 Top Division.[ 2] So Japan , as the last team of the 2014 Olympics , did not participate in the World Championships in 2014 and advanced to the 2015 Top Division playoff .
The last-placed team of the Division I Group A was relegated to the Division I Group B for 2014.
