Competition Format

In Poitiers, 8 men's and 8 women's teams are divided in pools of 4 and seeded automatically based on the 3x3 Federation Ranking at the cut-off date of 20 June.

Each team plays the other in their respective pools. Best 2 teams of each group qualify for the semi-finals.

In case teams are tied in the pools, the tie-breakers are as follows:

1. Most wins (or win ratio in case of unequal number of games in inter-pool comparison);  
2. Head-to-head confrontation (only taking win/loss into account);
3. Most points scored in average (without considering winning scores of forfeits).

If teams are still tied after those three steps, the one(s) with the highest seeding win(s) the tie-breaker.

After the pools, semi-finals, finals and a 3rd place game will be played.

Pool games are played on Days 1 and 2, and the elimination games on Day 2 during the afternoon. The best 3 teams (men and women) qualify to the 2016 FIBA 3x3 European Championships in Bucharest from 2-4 September. Romania's men are automatically qualified as hosts. If they are one of the best 3 teams in France, then the losers of the 3rd place-game qualify.
