Hey guys!
Well i was thinking on this for a while...
I think current world cup format is too old, if i remember, i think it never was changed from the origins of buzzer. So, we have an old and selective world cup where only can participate 12 National Teams, that represents only a 10% of the countries in Buzzer, and the rest, almost 90 countries are fighthing in consolation tournament.

I think we need to increase the number of the National teams in the World cup, and also, change the format too.

A new world cup with 24 National teams, would be a great world cup, and i will try to propose a format

24 countries
Divided in 6 groups of 4 National teams each. (week 4-6)
2 first NT of each group advance to the next round (12 NT)
Those 12 NT are divided in 2 gropus of 6 teams, playing against all (Round Robin) (weeks 7-11)
8 NT Clasifies to quartes playing in week 12
Semis are played in week 13
And Final in week 14.

I stay tuned to your comments!!

This kind of system would be good not only for the BB but for the real FIBA WC as well. Send it to Andreas Zagklis.
