Sixteen teams take part in each Challenger and 12 in each Super Quest, and the two finalists stamp their ticket to a designated FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters (unless they are already qualified to the same Masters).

There are 3 ways to qualify for a FIBA 3x3 Challenger:

1. Win a lite quest event (a tour or a standalone event that qualifies directly to a challenger)
2. Rank as high as possible in the FIBA 3x3 Team Ranking  (best-ranked teams - at the moment of auto-allocation 5 weeks before the event - have preferential access to challengers)
3. Get one of the wildcards from the tournament hosts

A first list of lite quests will be announced at a later stage and available on fiba3x3.basketball.

All organizers interested in hosting a 3x3 Lite Quest, Super Quest or a Challenger can contact FIBA's 3x3 team.
