Spoilers? What is this, X factor?

It's urban and new.

It almost sounds like someone just noticed that there were some people somewhere on the Internet that discovered how BS their ranking was and that it was time to hide it.

On November 1, FIBA will organize a livestreamed show in Utsunomiya, Japan to reveal the teams who have qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, directly or indirectly via the FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournaments.

To avoid spoilers and make it a special event, the FIBA 3x3 Federation Ranking is invisible up to that date.

 

The different national federations still have access to their individual data on the backend and worldwide activity and individual ranking points are still visible on https://play.fiba3x3.basketball!

I have no words.

The FIBA 3*3 twitter account trying to defend their decision (in french)

 

 

"but, but, you still can count yourself the ranking by adding each nations individual points" 

[Dunadan 1,103]

Long and not satisfying answer...I wonder if they really realized that they fucked up or if they are hiding something.

[Dunadan 1,103]

I copied the data about the top 100 players in a spreadsheet and got these sums:

 

Mongolia

9946,570

 

Taiwan 

9666,525

 

France (they had more than 9 million a few days ago!)

8153,851

 

Romania

9567,820

 

I hope federations who miss out take FIBA to court.

Apparently Mongolia organized three tournaments on October 9.

 

But how does this work? Mongolian federation hosts a tournament for Mongolian players, where Mongolian players play against other Mongolian players, and for that Mongolian players get points for beating Mongolian players and these points count in the global ranking? What.

Exact. Clean and clear
