2017 MIBA Basketball World Cup

The 2017 MIBA Basketball World Cup is a basketball tournament for the nations of Mapperdonia, and a follow-up to the 2017 MIBA Spring Tournament in April. It will, again, be hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Union, formerly known as Pennsyljersaware.
== Tournament Structure ==
This edition will be different from the previous tournament. This will be modeled after FIBA Basketball World Cup, but with 32 teams and 8 groups, similar to the upcoming 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The top two teams in each group will advance to the Round of 16, where the opponents will be drawn at random. The tournament will continue from there like a normal knockout stage, the loser being knocked out. The losers of the semifinals will advance to the third-place match.
The participants will be drawn at random into the eight groups. The Mid-Atlantic Union automatically gets the first spot in Group A since it is the host.
== Venues ==
A total of eight venues will be used for this tournament. Pictures are not shown.
* Mid Penn Bank Center, Harrisburg (capacity 18,495); Group A matches, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Final

== Post-Tournament ==
After the tournament concludes, bidding will be open to determine the host of the next competition, which will be held in August 2018. Minor tournaments will occur until then. To bid, you must select between 4-8 venues (venue names and venue cities must also be stated) and state their capacity. All venues must have a capacity of more than 15,000. If a venue is stated to have a capacity of below 15,000, then the bid will be considered invalid until a new one is chosen that fits the criteria. Joint-bids are accepted.
== Group Stage ==
Key: Pld=Games Played, W=Wins, L=Losses, PF=Points For, PA=Points Against, PD=Point Difference, Pts=Points. A win will add 2 points, and a loss will add 1 point.
