The maths

The FIBA 3x3 Federation Ranking is calculated by adding up the FIBA 3x3 Individual World Ranking points of the Top 100 nationals with a confirmed play.fiba3x3.com account. It not only rewards the elite performances of the players but also the 3x3 activity in the territory of each National Federation. It is calculated daily at 12h00 UTC.

The concept

The position in the 3x3 Federation Ranking is driven by the number of players and their playing frequency. The more events are organised the more likely players will accumulate points and increase the national federation's standing in the Ranking.

The role

It is the main criterion used to identify the teams qualified to the FIBA 3x3 World Cup and the Olympic Games (open and U-Categories).

Did you know?

The combined federation ranking is the geometric average of the ranking points of men and women (the square root of their product) in order to reward federations that are active and successful with both genders.
