COMPETITION SYSTEM

· The top eight qualified teams in the last European Championship access the Final Stage directly, and four 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.
