Message: [QUOTE="awhom111, post: 4388096, member: 8683"] I am not sure what the exact rules were, but FIBA basically invited everyone to field teams and then they created 11 conferences along with 1 host spot to determine the teams that would play in the final tournament: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fiba.basketball/3x3nationsleaguefinal/2022/conferences[/URL] They were shooting for six team conferences so interested countries were able to field a second team to get the numbers to the level that they wanted. Assuming slightly different numbers around the world, if there were ten countries in the Americas that wanted to field a team, presumably the United States would have been offered the chance to field another team.
