App. D · CLASSIFICATION OF TEAMS

D.1Procedure

D.1.1

Teams shall be classified according to their win-loss record, namely 2 classification points for each game won, 1 classification point for each game lost (including lost by default) and 0 classification points for a game lost by forfeit.

D.1.2

The procedure shall be used for all competitions with a round-robin system.

D.1.3

If 2 or more teams have the same win-loss record of all games in the group, the game(s) between these 2 or more teams shall decide on the classification. If these 2 or more teams have the same win-loss record of the games between them, further criteria shall be used in the following order:

Higher game points difference of the games between them.
Higher number of game points scored in the games between them.
Higher game points difference of all games in the group.
Higher number of game points scored in all games in the group. If, upon application of these criteria, a final decision cannot be reached at the conclusion of the group phase, the relevant FIBA ranking shall determine the final classification in National Teams Competitions. In all other competitions where no FIBA ranking exists, the final classification shall be determined with a draw.

D.1.4

If at any level of these criteria one or more team(s) are already classified, the procedure of D.1.3 shall be repeated from the start for all the remaining teams not classified yet.

D.3Forfeit

D.3.1

A team which, without valid reason, fails to show up for a scheduled game or withdraws from the court before the end of the game, shall lose the game by forfeit and receive 0 classification points.

D.3.2

If the team forfeits for a second time, the results of all games played by this team shall be nullified.

Example

Team 4A in group A forfeits twice, therefore all its games shall be nullified.

D.4Cross-group classifications

D.4.1

To classify teams across groups (e. g. to determine the best second or third placed teams), the following criteria shall be used. If all teams in all groups have played the same number of games, the teams on the same position in each group shall be placed in one group. The following criteria shall apply in the order listed below:

Better win-loss record of all games played in their revised final group standings.
Higher game points difference of all games in their revised final group standings.
Higher number of the game points scored in all games in their revised final group standings.
If these criteria still cannot decide, the relevant FIBA ranking shall decide on the final classification. Classification Classification Group A Wins Losses Group B Wins Losses points points Team 1A 8 0 16 Team 1B 8 0 16 Team 2A 6 2 14 Team 2B 6 2 14 Team 3A 4 4 12 Team 3B 4 4 12 Team 4A 2 6 10 Team 4B 2 6 10 Team 5A 0 8 8 Team 5B 0 8 8 Classification Classification Group C Wins Losses Group D Wins Losses points points Team 1C 8 0 16 Team 1D 7 1 15 Team 2C 6 2 14 Team 2D 7 1 15 Team 3C 3 5 11 Team 3D 4 4 12 Team 4C 3 5 11 Team 4D 2 6 10 Team 5C 0 8 8 Team 5D 0 8 8 To determine the best second placed team: Classification Game points Group X Wins Losses Game points points difference Team 2D 7 1 15 628 – 521 Team 2B 6 2 14 551 – 488 + 63 Team 2A 6 2 14 531 – 506 + 25 Team 2C 6 2 14 525 – 500 + 25

D.4.2

If after grouping the teams on the same position in each group, these teams have played a different number of games in their respective groups, then the games of the last placed team in the group or groups of the teams with the most games shall be nullified. This process shall be repeated across all groups until the number of games are the same across all groups. The following criteria shall apply in the order listed below:

Better win-loss record of all games played in their revised final group standings.
Higher game points difference of all games in their revised final group standings.
Higher number of the game points scored in all games in their revised final group standings.
If these criteria still cannot decide, the relevant FIBA ranking shall decide on the final classification.

Note:

For the avoidance of doubt, the annulation of games referred above, for the purposes of cross-group classifications, shall not alter the initial standing of teams in a particular group.

Example

Classification Classification Group A Wins Losses Group B Wins Losses points points Team 1A 5 0 10 Team 1B 4 1 9 Team 2A 4 1 9 Team 2B 4 1 9 Team 3A 3 2 8 Team 3B 4 1 9 Team 4A 2 3 7 Team 4B 2 3 7 Team 5A 1 4 6 Team 5B 1 4 6 Team 6A 0 5 5 Team 6B 0 5 5 Classification Classification Group C Wins Losses Group D Wins Losses points points Team 1C 4 0 8 Team 1D 3 1 7 Team 2C 3 1 7 Team 2D 3 1 7 Team 3C 2 2 6 Team 3D 2 2 6 Team 4C 1 3 5 Team 4D 2 2 6 Team 5C 0 4 4 Team 5D 0 4 4 To determine the best third placed team, all third placed teams shall be put into one group: Classification Group X Wins Losses points Team 3B 4 1 9 Team 3A 3 2 8 Team 3D 2 2 6 Team 3C 2 2 6 However, teams 3B and 3A have played five games whereas teams 3D and 3C have played four games. The games of the last placed team in groups A and B must be annulled to level all third placed teams to four games, and a new table established. The games’ results of group A and B were as follows: Group A Away 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A Home 1A 71 – 65 86 – 85 77 – 75 86 – 80 85 – 80 2A 80 – 75 90 – 84 98 – 79 87 – 85 3A 87 – 67 101 – 76 86 – 74 4A 78 – 54 87 – 81 5A 84 – 65 Group B Away 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B Home 1B 81 – 76 85 – 86 77 – 75 90 – 80 85 – 69 2B 90 – 85 96 – 79 81 – 73 87 – 85 3B 87 – 67 101 – 76 86 – 74 4B 78 – 54 87 – 81 5B 84 – 65 Upon annulation of games of teams 6A and 6B, the revised standings of the group to determine the best third team are as follows: Classification Game points Group X Wins Losses Game points points difference Team 3B 3 1 7 359 – 323 Team 3A 2 2 6 348 – 309 + 39 Team 3D 2 2 6 363 – 359 + 4 Team 3C 2 2 6 302 – 298 + 4

D.5Classifications of teams in a Tournament of Phases

D.5.1

In a tournament where game results in a group are carried over from one phase to another, but a team is withdrawn from the tournament or forfeits for a second time a game for any reason, then the results of all games played by the withdrawn or forfeiting team shall be nullified from all relevant phases. The following criteria shall apply in the order listed below:

Better win-loss record of all games played in their revised final group standings.
Higher game points difference of all games in their revised final group standings.
Higher number of the game points scored in all games in their revised final group standings.
If these criteria still cannot decide, the relevant FIBA ranking shall decide on the final classification.
