mode

The Olympic basketball tournament began with group games as a simple round-robin tournament in two groups of six teams each. While the last two and penultimate in the group were eliminated from the tournament, the four best in the group continued to play in the knockout system from the quarter-finals . The final round matches were played in the crossover system, so that the first of a group played against the fourth of the other group and the second against the third of the other group in the quarterfinals.

Then the game was continued in such a way that the group winners, if they won their games, met in the finals at the earliest. The quarter-final losers were eliminated from the tournament, while the semi-final losers played off the bronze medal winners in the third-place match.
