The preliminary round was a two group of five teams each internal round-robin format, followed by a three-round playoff. In the round-robin, two points were allotted for a win, and one additional point for a regulation win. One point was allotted for an overtime or game winning shots loss.

The four highest-ranked teams from each group of the preliminary round advanced to quarterfinals while the last-placed team from each group played a best-of-three series, the loser relegated to Division IA for 2019. All other teams will retain their Top Division status.{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/7006.html |title=New format for U18, U20 Worlds |date=2012-05-29 |access-date=2011-05-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702204030/http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/7006.html |work=IIHF |archive-date=July 2, 2012 }}
