FIBA Women's AmeriCup

Women's national-team championship

Recognition requires agreement on the women's national-team category, Americas remit and basketball discipline.

1. Does the official record identify the senior women's 5-on-5 continental competition rather than a youth, men's or 3x3 event? definition
2. Which FIBA competition identifier supports linking this record to vr.tr.fiba-women-s-americup? provenance

Name and edition continuity

Historical titles and edition numbering require documented continuity; a host-year label identifies a staging within the series.

1. Which official archive connects a historical competition title to the Women's AmeriCup series? provenance
2. Does the reference describe the series, one edition, a qualifying competition or an individual game? boundary

Scheduled and actual extent

Opening and closing dates belong to the edition, while draws, registration deadlines and feeder events remain separately related milestones.

1. What are the officially scheduled and actual first and last competition dates, expressed in the Gregorian calendar? measurement
2. Which associated milestones occur outside the tournament interval and should remain separate events? boundary

Authoritative location and time

Host designation, game venue and tip-off time are distinct claims whose revisions may have different authorities.

1. Which official announcement assigns the edition's host and which schedule assigns each game venue? provenance
2. What local time zone and UTC offset apply to each published tip-off time? measurement
3. Which confirmed postponement or relocation supersedes the previous fixture information? action

Documented team admission

Each entrant needs an edition-specific route, such as a feeder result or another expressly authorised provision; these routes must be verified individually.

1. Which regional result, allocation rule or FIBA decision admitted this national team to this edition? provenance
2. Did hosting confer entry under this edition's rules, and did that alter another allocation? boundary
3. What official decision governs a withdrawal, replacement or unfilled place? action

Approved roster boundary

Training-camp selections, final rosters and game participation are different states; eligibility decisions belong to the applicable regulatory version.

1. Which official roster establishes approved players and staff, and when did it become effective? provenance
2. Which applicable eligibility or replacement rule determines whether a proposed roster change can be accepted? action
3. Does the evidence establish nomination, accreditation, game availability or actual appearance? boundary

Edition-specific format

The draw, group structure and subsequent rounds must be taken from the Women's AmeriCup edition concerned.

1. Which official draw places each team in its group, and what seeding or allocation restrictions applied? provenance
2. How many teams advance from each stage, and how are later matchups assigned? measurement

Ties and placement decisions

Group ties, exceptional game outcomes and final classification require explicit rules rather than intuitive sorting.

1. Which ordered tie-breaking criteria apply to the tied teams in this edition? definition
2. How do forfeits, disciplinary decisions or unfinished games affect standings and advancement? action
3. Which placements are decided through games and which through classification rules? boundary

Confirmed standings and title

Final placement and champion status require official confirmation, including any decision that changes the effect of a game result.

1. Which official game reports and final classification establish the champion and each team's placing? provenance
2. Are these results provisional, confirmed or superseded by a later competition decision? boundary

Distinct qualification entitlements

FIBA specified that the 2025 champion qualified directly for the 2026 Women's Basketball World Cup while also participating in its qualifying tournaments alongside finishers second through sixth; this illustrates why entitlements need cycle-specific modelling.

1. For the edition being assessed, which finishing positions confer direct entry and which confer qualifying-tournament participation? definition
2. Which official rule resolves overlapping entitlements, destination-host status or a vacated place? action
3. Is a claimed World Cup or Olympic consequence documented for this particular cycle? provenance

Claim-specific authority

A federation roster announcement, host schedule and FIBA qualification decision establish different facts and need explicit attribution.

1. Which body has authority over the disputed roster, fixture, result or qualification claim? provenance
2. Which regulation version or dated ruling applies to this edition and decision? boundary

Conflict-aware competition state

Conflicting dates, scores, placements or qualification statements need source dates, a stated resolution basis and an explicit unresolved state where necessary.

1. Which sources disagree, what does each claim, and is there an explicit correction or superseding ruling? provenance
2. Which progression or qualification decisions must remain pending until the conflict is resolved? action
