FIBA TIE BREAKING PROCEDURE (Page 72 of FIBA Rule Book)

  • D.1 Procedure 

Teams shall be classified according to their win-loss records, namely two (2) points for each game won, one (1) point for each game lost (including lost by default) and zero (0) points for a game lost by forfeit.  

  • D.1.1 If there are two teams in the classification with equal points, the result(s) of the game(s) between the two teams involved will be used to determine the placings. 
  • D.1.2 If the points and the goal average in the games between the two teams are still the same, the classification will be determined by the goal average of all the games played in the group by each team. 
  • D.1.3 If more than two teams are equal in the placing, a second classification will be established, taking into account only the results of the games between the teams that are tied. See below.
  • D.1.4 If there are still teams tied after the second classification, then goal average will be used to determine the placing, taking into account only the results of the games between the teams still tied. 
  • D.1.5 If there are still teams tied, the placing will be determined using the goal average from the results of all their games played in the group. 
  • D.1.6 If, at any stage, using the above criteria, a multiple team tie is reduced to a tie involving only two teams, the procedure in D.1.1 and D.1.2 above will be applied. 
  • D.3.3 More than two teams – equal points: 

Team   Wins   Losses   Points
