So does Stokes not count as 'Turkish' yet, then? Because she still seems to be playing or not playing based on Fener's excessive collection of foreigners. |

I'm confused about what's happening in France. If Lyon and Montpellier are playing for the French League championship, what is this Coupe de France that Bourges just won over Flammes? Is that a runner-up tournament? A separate competition altogether?

Yeah, I don't know whether the paperwork is even official yet. We first heard about this naturalization last fall and it took this long to even be announced. It may not be possible to change status mid-season?

Recap here:
http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2019/05/french-cup-final-may-11th/
The French Cup is a knockout competition like in soccer. Teams from the top three divisions enter and play single elimination games during the season until the final this weekend, which was part of the same festivities as the cup on the men's side, two youth competitions with the same format, and two cups solely for lower division teams. |

Were Lyon and Montpellier part of the knockout tournament? It's just a coincidence that the top four teams ended up as the finalists in two different tournaments?

Mostly a coincidence as I noted in the late arrivals thread that the league semifinals outcome was the worst in terms of keeping players. Lyon eliminated Lattes and then Bourges eliminated Lyon. Bourges and Charleville only had to win two games to reach the final since EuroLeague teams enter at the quarterfinal stage and each round has matchups selected randomly with Charleville's draw being rather easy. |
