Exact. Clean and clear

 

This smells even worse than #TeamBogota for the 2018 Winter Olympics

This is ridiculous...the rankings, other than being idiotic, were also probably wrongly calculated and FIBA decided to hide them, claiming that the reason was to create interest for their event on 1 November.

Any publicity is good publicity

I don't care if it worked, 4 out of 8 teams are going to qualify for the Olympics (and the other teams coming from the OQTs also depending on ranking) through a ranking which is flawed, open to manipulation (like Mongolian schoolgirls playing each other) or plain cheating (who knows how many fake or irregular tournaments are included) and also not public anymore while they try to check and fix it. This is not funny anymore, it's a disgusting system, IOC should step in and force FIBA to organize a qualification tournament, or  use next year's World Cup as a qualification tournament.

We really should have leaked Project Bogota conspiracy theories back when it was a hot topic.

Well, they already cut their own fingers since FIS is apparently going to make cross-country qualifying harder for 2022.

 

On that note: to the cross-country thread!

By the way, who would profit from a crappy system like this? Normally one would say "the richest nations", but really, Mongolia?
