The FIBA (FIBA, the acronym from its French name) calculates the world rankings of all of its basketball teams.
Calculation [edit]
Only FIBA tournaments for full five-a-side teams are used in calculations for the tournaments. Other tournaments, such as regional championships, invitationals, and friendlies are not included. Also not counted are tournaments in FIBA's official competition for three-on-three halfcourt basketball, 3x3.[1]
Events' weights [edit]
Each FIBA event has a weight, partly based on the strength of the various national teams participating:[1]
Men Ranking [edit]
Women Ranking [edit]
Competition ranking points [edit]
As opposed to football (soccer) tournaments, teams still have to go through a series of consolation and classification rounds even if they've been eliminated from title contention, so that a complete ranking of the teams will be possible.[1]
