dcro 10,172 Posted October 31, 2019 #114 Share Posted October 31, 2019 "The show will include performances from several Japanese artists, including freestyler BUG?!, the Brexy Dance Team, Awich and kZm from RUN THE FLOOR, who produced the official song of the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Utsunomiya Final. It will be attended by FIBA President Hamane Niang and FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis." Apparently the Brexit Dance Team will perform at much-anticipated ilve show. http://www.fiba.basketball/news/fiba-to-organize-livestreamed-event-to-announce-fiba-3x3-teams-qualified-for-the-tokyo-2020-olympics-on-november-1-20191 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted October 31, 2019 #115 Share Posted October 31, 2019 They didn't call B-boy Bumblebee to perform on stage, I'm disappointed. Anyway for direct qualification anything different than: for women and for men would be a big surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OQT should be interesting. I have 3x3 tickets, so hopefully I’ll get to see Mongolia. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted October 31, 2019 #117 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I was bored, here is what the top 10 would look like if we only used the top 4 players from each nation (I only looked at the top 1000 players). Men 1. Serbia - 6,234,720 2. Latvia - 6,036,160 3. United States - 4,971,879 4. Slovenia - 4,555,680 5. Lithuania - 4,475,760 6. Canada - 4,006,120 7. Netherlands - 3,964,080 8. Russia - 3,162,320 9. Mongolia - 2,714,920 10. Switzerland - 2,519,560 Women 1. France - 2,176,360 2. Canada - 1,549,480 3. Russia - 1,438,010 4. Italy - 1,393,680 5. China - 1,389,720 6. Spain - 1,361,900 7. Netherlands - 1,264,200 8. Poland - 1,150,100 9. Japan - 1,121,503 10. United States - 1,012,950 Both genders only have one team (Serbia and Russia) which overlaps with the current ranking list. Additionally, the host quota would go to the women. For those curious, in the men's ranking China is ranked 12th while Japan is ranked 14th and in the women's rankings Romania is 13th while Mongolia is 17th. I'm surprised how well Canada is doing, though I knew they were trying to send a quality team. Hopefully they will compete in the qualification tournament, though it will be hard to defeat the European teams. NearPup and Dunadan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted November 1, 2019 #120 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just to be clear, what will be announced today? The 3-4 teams qualifying via the ranking, or also which teams qualify for the OQT?
