    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Because Chinese Taipei had good performance in last Asian Championship in 2007 6th.
    That is the FIBA asia 's answer.

    south korea was placed 4th and automatically to join fiba-asia even if deadlast this east-asia.
    moved to china but china is automatically because of host country in this tournament.
    and then moved to taiwan.

    hey pinoys, please understand this rule
    You must be referring to the old rule of qualification. This time the 5 teams who participated in the Stankovic Cup have automatic qualification while the top 5 teams of last edition's tournament as well as the other teams need to go through subzone qualifiers. As host, china already has a slot. The top 4 teams of last edition Iran, Lebanon, Korea, and Kazakhstan are seeded to Group A, B, C, and D respectively.

    There ain't no such rule, 6 teams automatically qualifies due to their participation from the Stankovic Cup and being host of the tourney. Now what happens is that each zone will be given 2 slots for qualification for the championships. so if do the your math 6 + ( 2 slots x 5 zones) = 16 teams for the tourney.

    Korea wasn't even part of the Stankovic cup so that makes them participate in the East Asian Championships so that they can be qualified to join the Asian Championships.

    before you ask that is there a confirmation from Fiba Asia that Chinese Taipei will play in the Asian Championships. Asia-basket is a respective news website but it also written there that it might be a rumor. So before anything else lets wait for Fiba
    this news is like giving hope to taiwan basketball fans about their nt chances, no facts given but highly possible because you admit taiwan is good but not agreat team like korea iran china or lebnon and rp that these can countries can easily beat them
