Whose idea was it to do 3 groups again?

FIBA they want to copy/paste everything from FIFA

 

btw I think with this format everybody wants Iran in their group   no secret that Iran is the weakest team of the competition and points difference matters here (to qualify even if you are 3rd in the group)

Apparently the format was changed to reduce the number of games each team has to play.

the official explaination was to avoid teams making calculations (and maybe losing a game on purpose) to have a better position in the knockout stage table draw...

 

with this system, losing a game on purpose is senseless because there will be a full draw for the quarterfinals and semifinals (with seedings based on the overall results between the groups where teams won't even play each other in many cases)...

From my understanding Canada will be drawn with either Belgium or Serbia.
