The International Basketball Federation (FIBA, the acronym from its French name) calculates the world rankings of all of its basketball teams.
[edit] Calculation
Only FIBA tournaments are used in calculations for the tournaments; other tournaments, such as regional championships, invitationals, and friendlies are not included.[1]
[edit] Events' weights
Each FIBA event has a weight, partly based on the strength of the various national teams participating:[1]
[edit] Men Ranking
[edit] Women Ranking
[edit] Competition ranking points
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]
