De_Gambassi 896 Posted October 24, 2019 #101 Share Posted October 24, 2019 à l’instant, Dunadan a dit : No big change today apart from Chinese Taipei casually losing 4,000,000 points...they are at 6,511,235 now. Is it even possible for individuals to loose points ? I had the impression that it was only a cumulative ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the impression that it was only a cumulative ranking. whole series of tournaments seem to have been "cancelled" from the rankings (don't know why...are they checking if there were irregularities in the organization? were they caught cheating?) especially for C.Taipei and France (among top ranked nations) see "Absolute 3x3 women's series" https://play.fiba3x3.com/players/d020e9a9-5898-4d3c-b106-3b6580acd974/activity "Promo Pro camp 3x3" https://play.fiba3x3.com/players/93854753-e738-414c-9bf2-24e6ec79a2b6/activity , also some "downgrades due to small division". This is happening since a couple of days ago after the rankings were hidden as far as I know...hardly a coincidence if you ask me.

dodge 681 Posted October 24, 2019 #103 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I would guess that they originally categorized them incorrectly. So seeing (eg) Mongoliarack up points in multiple tournaments a day, they may have decided to investigate it I'd guess the new "unveiled" rankings will be far closer to a "normal" qualification rankings (i.e. only international competitions count etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some competitions starting not counting anymore or being downgraded for unknown or dubious reasons but only for a couple of designated nations. At that point, I also can think of national federations taking this shit to courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,177 Posted October 24, 2019 #105 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It's time for FIBA to just cancel the WR qualification and let 6 or 7 teams qualify from the QT depending on which host team gets the automatic quota. phelps, Olympian1010 and NearPup 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted October 24, 2019 #106 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Yeah, maybe they will investigate some dubious results, but there is no way they cancel WR, or change its formula. That would be just asking for a lawsuit. Also, keep in mind that all Mongolian tournaments were streamed on their infamous MGL 3x3 Facebook page. I wonder if that can be a conclusive proof of their qualification (and human rights abuse). Edited October 24, 2019 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted October 30, 2019 #107 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Two days to go and it's probably all decided...sum of top 100 individuals: Russia 12 467 190 China 11 780 700 Mongolia 10 965 440 (lost some points but they keep playing and getting more) Romania 10 268 310 France 8 184 681 (they keep playing but many tournaments with too few teams or no data that are not counted in the ranking as of now) Italy 6 829 440 Iran 6 778 875 (lost points) TPE 6 394 735 (lost millions of points) Benolympique and dcro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted October 30, 2019 #108 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Well Mongolia looks very safe, especially with the rule that only a maximum of two nations from the same continent can qualify via this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted October 30, 2019 #109 Share Posted October 30, 2019 And then there is always a possibility that the hidden ranking will turn out to be completely different, because 3x3. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
