FIBA World Rankings
The International Basketball Federation (FIBA, the acronym from its French name) calculates the world rankings of all of its basketball teams.
Calculation
Only FIBA tournaments are used in calculations for the tournaments; other tournaments, such as regional championships, invitationals, and friendlies are not included.[1]
Events' weights
Each FIBA event has a weight, partly based on the strength of the various national teams participating:[1]

Women Ranking
Competition ranking points
As opposed to football (soccer) tournaments, teams still have to go through a series of consolation and classification rounds even if they've been eliminated from title contention, so that a complete ranking of the teams will be possible.[1]
