Um, are they seriously playing the Supercup on Tenerife, while a volcano is erupting on the island nextdoor? Seems like that might've been a good time to hold it on the mainland... |

No relaxing for the winners. They have a Euroleague qualifier game tomorrow/Tuesday in Schio.

How is it that they decide who has to play through the qualifiers for Euroleague and who is in automatically? Schio and Bourges were nowhere close to being the worst teams in Euroleague last year (ahem, Riga...), so what criteria makes them "less worthy"?

Thanks!
(Your quick summary was approximately 1 million times more clear than FIBA's attempt at an explanation)

EuroLeague Qualifiers:
http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2021/09/euroleague-qualifiers-day-2-september-22nd/
Two games still have to be played, but no effect on who actually qualifies for EuroLeague.
FIBA's YouTube channel did end up having both EuroCup qualifying games even though they were not linked in advance. Thursday is a busy day with one series starting on Friday and the last one on Tuesday so they may have more to watch. |

awhom111 - thanks for always posting these reports.
Do you know the significance of "Dynamo" in the naming of 3 of the Russian teams? Is this a sponsorship type of thing?

Dinamo/Dynamo dates back to the Russian government originally, and you'll see it attached to sports teams all over Europe, especially the old Eastern Bloc. These days it doesn't mean much any more, it's just a name. Not a company sponsorship or anything like that. |

Germany Round 3:
http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2021/10/german-league-round-3-october-3rd-3/
FIBA's YouTube channel completely disappeared a few days ago so there are no links right now for this week's EuroLeague games. One game a day is supposed to be shown on Facebook and Twitch, but who knows about the rest.
Spartak also used to mean more and the all of the clubs of the same name do still have some positive ties with each other, but the Dynamos are no longer considered the clubs of the secret police or domestic security service. The rest of Spartak Moscow disavowed the women's basketball team, which is why their name looks funny in official terms.
Israel is another place where there are historical meanings behind the club names which are part of larger sports societies like Maccabi, Hapoel, and Elitzur, but the uniformity of political views and stuff is not quite the same in most cases as in years past. |

But that's apparently how they started out. Wow - that's an interesting tidbit. Thanks for that.
