After watching 2021 Olympics im not fan of that new playing format
8 games in 2 weeks is normal amount for any fiba tournament historically, 6 feels too little
Especially when we can see in horizont like 8-9 very strong rosters in 2024 olympic tournament
Agreed. I think a fair compromise is to have 4 groups of 3 teams. The top two in each group then form 2 groups of 4 (and results carry over). I think the first 3 of each group go the quarterfinals and the bottom two have to play the 9-10th team (coming from a 9-12th group played in the meantime) to get their spot. So top 6 teams play 7 game maximum. Teams 7-8 from the the pool play can technically still win a medal but they have to play 8 games. Teams 9-12 have to play 9 games to win a medal (but let's face it, they won't)
