XV EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP (HELSINKI 1967)

(From 28-09-1967 to 8-10-1967)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

· Eight teams access the Final Stage directly and eight more join them after a preliminary Qualifying Stage.

· The sixteen participating teams are divided in 2 groups of 8 teams each 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 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.
