Division I

edit

The Division I tournament was played in Celje and Maribor, Slovenia, from 23 to 29 March 2002.[6] With the temporary expansion of the top level to twelve teams because of the late inclusion of Canada, Division I was left short one team. France, the previous year's runner up in Division II was invited, but failed to respond, so the tournament was played with only seven teams.[7]
