One thing that i cant understand is why the teams which already have qualified they are also taking part. Their results can impact other teams classification 

I really dont understand why the FIBA did that.. just dont count the champions for the QT. No reason to have the already qualified teams hog up the space

I read somewhere that it's because women's teams hardly ever play, so it's an opportunity for the already qualified teams to play friendlies against teams from outside the continent. It was probably just a theory. How much sense does that make? I don't know...

They could also host a 5 team tournament among the already qualified nations.

Also the state of women's basketball in our continent outside of the United States is horrible. 

 

Puerto Rico may be the only other nation qualifying and that's because they are in a very easy group

 failed to qualify for the World Cup, disaster 

 

Worried we might not even qualify for the Olympics…
