2022 Winter Club Playoff Scenarios

We break down what each team that can qualify for our basketball playoffs needs to have happen

PLAYOFF QUALIFICATIONS (Teams that will play on August 20/21)

Any teams that are not listed will conclude their season on August 13/14. This also assumes that no teams have a forfeit loss in any games they are scheduled for, which could impact which teams qualify.

A reminder – these have not been independently verified, so there is the possibility of mistakes. To calculate the scenarios yourself, please see the official tie-breaker procedures in the Official FIBA Rules (Classification of teams – page 78)
