The maths
The FIBA 3x3 Federation Ranking is calculated by adding up the FIBA 3x3 Individual World Ranking points of the Top 25 nationals with a confirmed play.fiba3x3.com account. It is calculated daily at 12h00 UTC.
The concept
The position in the 3x3 Federation Ranking is driven by the number of players and their playing frequency. The more events are organized the more likely players will accumulate points and increase the national federation's standing in the Ranking.

- From October 1, 2021, the rankings are calculated as normal, based on the last 12 months.
