The annual William Jones Cup International Invitational Tournament will tip off July 8 in Taipei with 8 men's teams and 6 women's teams participating in the most popular basketball event in Taiwan.
The men's competition will be played from July 8-16 while the women's competition follows from July 17-21. All games will be played in Taipei Physical Education College Gymnasium.
As usual, Japan, Qatar and Kazakhstan will send their men's national teams to Taiwan. However CTBA did not elaborate in its press release about the exact participating teams, only listing the country names of participating teams on the game schedule.
Eight men's teams will play in a single round robin system in the preliminary round. In the second round No. 5-8 teams and No. 1-4 teams will meet in cross-over games with winners advance to the 5/6-place game and title game while losers play in the 7/8-place game and 3/4-place game.
