XII EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP (BEOGRAD 1961)

(From 29-04-1961 to 8-05-1961)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

· The nineteen participating teams are divided in 6 groups (five with three teams each and one with four teams) playing a round robin. In case that two or more teams finish level on points, their position is decided by their basket average.

· The group winners and runners-up advance to a classification round for places 1-12 (divided in 2 groups of six teams each playing a round robin), whereas the rest of teams enter a classification round for places 13-19 (also divided in 2 groups). The individual scores during the preliminary round are accumulated in the classification round.

· The group winners and runners-up after the classification round for places 1-12 advance to the semifinal round (played as an X-pairing). The two winners after the semifinals qualify for the final, whereas the two losers play a consolation final for the bronze medal.
