XI EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP (İSTANBUL 1959)

(From 21-05-1959 to 31-05-1959)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

· The seventeen participating teams are divided in 4 groups (three with four teams each and one with five teams) playing a round robin. In case that two or more teams finish level on points, their position is decided by their basket average.

· The group winners and runners-up advance to a classification round for places 1-8 (played also as a league stage with 2 groups of four teams each), whereas the rest of teams enter a classification round for places 9-17 (divided in three groups of three teams each).

· The group winners and runners-up after the classification round for places 1-8 advance to a final classification round for places 1-4 (in which the individual scores of the previous groups are accumulated). The group winner after this final classification round becomes European champion.
