Sangheili Union (From the 2016 Winter Sangheili Games)
The Freto and Craktelia SSRs were invited because they made the final four at the Poconos 2015 Winter Sangheili Games. They both accepted. The Ratchet SSR and the Sangheilios SFSR automatically qualified to the tournament because they both played guest nations in the quarter finals at the 2016 Winter Sangheili Games. Sangheilios played Quebec and the Ratchets played the Republic of Smithville respectively. The Brick Squad (renamed to Delmarva in 2017) won against the Craktelians in the quarter finals to qualify.

Controversies
Delay of Games
The first group E games were originally going to be played on September 11 but the organizing committee chose to delay the games to the 12th because of the 15th anniversary of remembering Flight 93 that crash landed in modern day Shanksville, Schykille as well as the rest of the September 11th Attacks
Timeria Disqualification
Timeria after their first match at the 2016 Virtual Basket World Cup hosted by Occitania and Tres Flors; was disqualified for criticizing virtual events.
Group Stage
Since there are only twenty four participants, only sixteen will qualify to the playoffs. The two best teams in each group (12 total) and 4 teams that make the best third place teams will also qualify.
