There are few areas of the world of sports where high technology has not found a home in the last decade.

At EuroBasket 2007 fans have enjoyed live scoring, streaming video and other features that make watching games more and more of an interactive experience.

As the qualifying round of EuroBasket wraps up in Madrid this might be a good time to remind people exactly what is on the line these next three days.

Eight teams will continue on to the Quarterfinals, which begin in Thursday, and no doubt all of them dream of a spot on the podium Sunday night but they also understand that there is more on the line then just that, like a ticket to Beijing and the 2008 Olympics.

For the first time FIBA Europe has incorporated a tournament clinic for referees nominated to EuroBasket.

The first phase of the clinic started in Menorca during the three days of the Additional Qualifying Tournament, and continued in each of the cities for the preliminary round, under the guidance of four instructors at each venue.

FIBA Europe is pleased to announce that EuroBasket 2007 can be followed wherever and whenever you want via your mobile telephone.

The mobile feature, which is being provided in cooperation with FIBA and Nokia, will allow users to access the latest scores, stories, interviews, features and statistics of the tournament.

The draws for FIBA Europe's 2007/2008 club competition season were conducted this morning at the Kempinski Hotel in Munich, Germany.

A total of 115 clubs will be participating in the EuroCup, EuroLeague Women and EuroCup Women.
