Competition System

The 8 teams that officially registered to participate in eFIBA North America are allocated into two different groups:

- Group A (4 teams) - Group B (4 teams)

Teams were allocated to each group through a random draw, with two exceptions: USA and Dominican Republic, as the top two teams from the previous eFIBA North America edition, were placed in separate groups.

At the conclusion of this stage, six teams will advance to the Final Stage. These will be the top three teams from each group based on the final standings once all games have been completed.

In the first round of the main competition (also referred to as Upper Bracket Semi-Finals), top 4 teams from the “Qualifiers stage” are paired as follows (Top two teams from each group):

- Rank #1 (Dominican Republic) vs. Rank #4 (Cayman Islands) - Rank #2 (USA) vs Rank #3 (Puerto Rico)

The winners of these games advance directly to the Upper Bracket Final. The losers move to the Lower Bracket Quarter-Finals.
