Although teams and players are not barred from competing in various catchment areas
and WT Qualifiers, the competition system does not foresee the participation in more
than one WT Masters in case of multiple successful qualifications. The rationale behind
this is to keep a maximum variety of teams in the World Tour and offer the participation
as development driver in all catchment areas for the time being. In addition, teams
qualified for a WT Masters must consist of at least the team captain and one other
player from the team winning the relevant WT Qualifier. 2 players max may be replaced
in case of injury, but only by players that have participated in at least two FIBA-
endorsed events in the same catchment area during the last 12 months.
In order to secure a fair representation of the catchment areas in the World Tour,Teams
are allowed to participate in any event including Challengers. Said this, a WT Masters
event will only feature the teams of its catchment area. Winner of a WT Qualifier that
does not belong to its catchment area, will not qualify to the given WT and only collect
the points; the best placed team of the right catchment area will get the berth.”
FIBA determines the WT Qualifiers. WT Qualifiers for each WT Masters are assigned
based on two criteria:
1. Results of previous season results in the respective WT Masters
The organisers of the WT Qualifiers whose teams finished in the top six of a
WT Masters receive a direct slot for the WT Masters the following year
2. Class, mass and CSR angle of an organiser
Tradition and venue location;
Sustainability and quality of the organiser;
Size, number of participants and spectators;
Age and gender diversity; quality of the registered players;
Footprint across the catchment area;
Prize money; side events; overall event quality;
More than one team can be allocated to a WT Masters from a given WT Qualifier, if a
tournament/tour is of high quality and/or covers a large geographical region and/or
follows all FIBA recommendations.
