Well, that's Exactly what Fiba just did with Mexico, they got a "free ticket" (like you called) it to FIBA AMERICAS CHAMPIONSHIP when countries like Colombia and Panama ended up in the same place in their Qualification Tournament.

a Chinese monk, once said:" Money is able to do limitless things" my friend :p
 
no point whining because there's no harm done. taiwan is a good team and it has good people.
 
well, that's good news for Chinese-Taipei. i feel they deserved a slot in the upcoming FIBA-Asia tourney. i wish they will be grouped with our NT.

that's also good news to us as we will have a chance to see those cute girls cheering for their team.:D
 
Taiwan getting a free pass to Fiba Asia? I smell something fishy here
 
well they are a good team so i think they deserve it, its unfair for teams who wants to qualify but failed in their own zones like Malaysia or Oman. They should have placed a a wildcard berth or something.

Asian Championships - Men Basketball

2009 FIBA-Asia draw in Tianjin today - Jun 17, 2009 (by Hector Santos)

Whether luck will be with countries that will participate in the FIBA-Asia draw or not is a mystery until the groups are finalized after a lottery at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tianjin, China, on June 17, 2009.

Iran, Lebanon, Korea and Kazakhstan are seeded to head each of the four brackets in the tournament based on the Tokushima results from No. 1 to No. 4. China is allowed to choose its bracket as the host countrys privilege and will select to start the third round or after two teams are listed in each group. The rest of the slots will be filled by lottery.

There are 16 countries participating in the competition from the five FIBA-Asia zones of East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, the Gulf and Middle Asia. The top three finishers will earn tickets to represent Asia at the World Championships in Turkey next year.

Aside from host China as automatic qualifier, the other teams playing in the Aug. 6-16 FIBA-Asia conclave are the five teams that made it via the Stankovic Cup Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Qatar and India, two teams from the Gulf United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, two teams from West Asia Iran and Lebanon, two teams from Southeast Asia the Philippines and Indonesia, two teams from East Asia Korea and Japan, and two teams from Middle Asia Uzbekistan and Sri Lanka.

Meanwhlle, a breaking news, Chinese-Taipei will replace Bahrain due to the latter withdrawal.Chinese Taipei finished sixth in Tokushima.
