Summarize
Perspective

Thirteen teams attempted to qualify for the three remaining spots in the 2017 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship Division I tournament.[1] The other five nations automatically qualified based on their results from the 2015 Championship and 2015 Division I tournament. Two qualification tournaments were held with a place awarded to the winner of each tournament.[1] The Asia/Oceania Qualification tournament was contested between Chinese Taipei, India, Japan and New Zealand with New Zealand winning promotion and returning to Division I after being relegated in 2012.[2] Malaysia and Singapore were initially announced to be competing in the tournament however later withdrew and were replaced by Chinese Taipei.[3] The Europe Qualification tournament was contested between Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Israel, Latvia, Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey with Latvia winning promotion and returning to Division I after being relegated in 2015.[4] Ireland was initially announced to be competed in the tournament however later withdrew.[3] A third qualification tournament representing the regions of the Americas and Africa was originally planned however Brazil was the only registered participant and so gained automatic qualification to Division I.[3]
