Same comment as on the Women's article: This article needs an explanation of FIBA's ranking points system, which is so stupid that I couldn't believe it really is just "1 point for showing up, another point for winning", but apparently that's the system. I can't find a source for that, but I'm willing to believe it. I added an explanation, which was reverted. I am happy for someone else to add a better explanation, but no explanation is not acceptable. Rks13 (talk) 21:41, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

The answer is that if a team loses by forfeit, it receives zero classification points. [1] I will add that information to the table. Thanks to Howard the Duck for clarifying that. Rks13 (talk) 20:28, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
