FIBA: In Euroleague, teams finishing 6th in the Second Stage of 1996–97 FIBA EuroLeague (groups E-H) lose a berth for their country in next season. These berths are gained by those countries whose teams reach the Semifinal Round in the 1996–97 FIBA EuroCup. As a general rule, a federation cannot have more than 3 teams in Euroleague. Should a semi-finalist in EuroCup provide one more berth for its country, in case it already has 3 berths assigned in Euroleague, this berth will be transferred to the next federation in FIBA Ranking which has 2 teams (as long as one of its teams reached the 1/4 Final Round in EuroCup during the same season)..
