Allocation
editA total of 31 teams participated in the 2012–13 Euroleague. There were three routes to participation in the Euroleague:
- The top 13 teams with an A-Licence from the 2011–12 Euroleague based on their Euroleague Club Ranking.[1]
- An additional team promoted to an A-Licence.
- The 2011–12 Eurocup winner was given a C-Licence.
- 14 places were allocated from a list of 28 teams given a B-Licence ranked according to their European national basketball league rankings over the last year. 14 teams were given both an A-Licence or C-Licence and a B-Licence. When a country ranking spot had already been assigned to an A-Licence team, the assignation jumped to the next country appearing in the ranking, and their league was not granted an additional place in the competition. The first 8 of the remaining 16 teams were given places in the regular-season, and the next 6 were given places in the qualifying competition. The last 2 places from the Netherlands and Latvia were not taken up.
- As the list of teams with a B-Licence was exhausted, two wild cards were granted to fill the remaining spaces in the qualifying competition.
