XVII EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP (ESSEN 1971)

(From 10-09-1971 to 19-09-1971)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

· Two teams access the Final Stage directly (title holder Soviet Union and host FRG) and ten more join them after a preliminary Qualifying Stage.

· The twelve participating teams are divided in 2 groups of 6 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.
