Just to illustrate, Cambodia team might not want to travel all the way to, say, Oman for just a FIBA-Asia 'C' game. Too much travel expense but the rewards are just small.
    makes sense... Even if Fiba obliged them to do so it wouldn't be that competitive and indeed countries will not develop. I think The way FIBA is divided now is gd. We can add 2 more countries from oceania, in such a case we must increase 2 qualifying slots. First 5 are qualified to the WC. Games could be played Home and Away of hosting the championship in "china".
    Lebanon mother land of the phoenicians! 7000 years of culture and history and still BEIRUT is "PARIS OF THE MIDDLE EAST"

      I meant not travelling for a single game in championship but a tournament. Make up three tournaments. FIBA Asia A Level, B Level and C Level. Winners of B and C move up, last placed teams go down. Cambodia would be in the c Tournament together with Nepal and so on...and one of them is hosting it. Whats the problem?

        there is no more A and B division in europe, because teams are more equal than before.

        if there would be aqualification in asia, it makes more sense for A and B division.

        but only for one torunament, it`s quite equal. good teams have the security to qualify for the next stage and small teams have the chance to play big nations.

        there would be no improvement for smaller nations.

        you can see it at the women champs, where only 4 or 5 nations have the chance to play for one year in division A (Lebanon, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Thailand). And afterwards, they will mostly relegate to division B. The others will always stay in Division B (singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka......).

        So, they could also play a torunament with all teams. It would be better than always China vs Japan, Or Chinese T. vs China....It is boring.
