Having attended the recent FIRS/ CIRILH (Committee International Roller Inline Hockey) 2003 Annual Meeting, held in Písek, Czech Republic, I recall it was stated that six teams would be in attendance at the 2005 World Games being the host country's (Germany) national team plus the remaining top five ranked teams from the 2004 FIRS World Championships.
