3x3 Federation Ranking
The 3x3 Federation Ranking not only rewards the elite performances of the players but also the 3x3 activity in the territory of each National Federation. The position in the 3x3 Federation Ranking is driven by the number of players and their playing frequency. The more events are organised the more likely players will accumulate points and increase the national federation's standing in the 3x3 Federation Ranking.
The 3x3 Federation Ranking will be published on a monthly basis on www.fiba.com/3x3. National Federations can check the most updated ranking at their convenience with their exclusive access to www.3x3planet.com, FIBA 3x3’s online platform.
