Talk:2020 FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments

Who made the rules?
Who made the qualifying rules this time? What a terrible schedule! What if Australia loses to France, Brazil and Puerto Rico? I know this is highly unlikely, but what about if the unexpected happened? Then Oceania will end up with no women's basketball representative in the Tokyo Olympics next year, which is a violation of the Olympic regulations.

Furthermore, the United States and Japan participating in this tournament makes it even more unfair. At the end of the day, we have two groups with each team having 75% of chance of qualifying while the other two groups with each team only having 67% of chance of qualifying. New Zealand and Cuba should have taken the spots instead of Japan and the United States. If those two already-qualified teams want to keep form, they can play in some warm-up tournaments in the lead up to the big event. Xindeho (talk) 12:59, 29 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Australia as the sole representative of FIBA Oceania should qualify directly just like Japan and the United States. If New Zealand and Cuba took the spots instead of Japan and the United States, then Australia and New Zealand should be assigned to the same group. 2001:8003:9008:1301:4D11:322D:4C55:9540 (talk) 13:22, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Why United States participate in the qualification tournament, when they have a already qualify? VladanV (talk) 22:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Tiebreakers?
If two teams finish on the same points (that is: having won the same number of matches), which team is ranked first? Is it "goal difference" or something else that decides? Fomalhaut76 (talk) 18:14, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It's head-to-head. Will add it to the table(s). Kante4 (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
