The Regular Season will tip off on 17 October and will conclude on 6 February.
For the Regular Season, the 21 participating clubs were divided in three (3) groups of seven (7) teams.

What a shock.
Yesterday were Men's WOQT's Quarter-Finals. The Winners have still chance to be in London because Top 3 Teams will get London spots.
Russia and Lithuania won matches vs Angola and Puerto Rico. Russia with 15 points A but Lithuania only 4.
First sens is Greece's defeat vs Nigeria. Greece had 12 points A but lost one point.
Second sens is Macedonia's defeat vs Dominican Republic. Macedonia had 13 points A but lost 10 points. -
Sancho Lyttle in Galatasaray (Confirmed by galatasaray.org today) so far Galatasaray's roster looks like,
C : Fowles,Wauters
PF : Lyttle,Nevriye,Bahar (also SF)
SF : Saziye,???
SG : Torrens,???
PG : Isil,Ozge,???There are also rumors about Lindsay Whalen (Minesotta Lynx) as PG/SG for Galatasaray
Hungarian PG Dalma Ivanyi in Botas
-
Our centers are seems quite weak. We have Yaso- Devran - Nevlin
We need CP in January her contract ends in January with UMMC.

Why don't you count Matovic and Verameyenka? but Fenerbahce's guards and small forwards are quite strong whereas Galatasaray's are still weaker and not many good names left from WNBA to transfer
-
I know that we have also Matovic and Vera. Verameyenka is ok but Matovic seems inadequate on the paper(Matovic loves Gala's game :D) and Gsaray's centers are more strong.
btw FIBA Europe announced that the hosts of the 2013 EuroLeague Women Final Eight was UMMC Ekaterinburg.

USA NT player Lindsay Whalen has signed one-year contract with Galatasaray. With this transfer the team has completed(maybe one European SG will be transferred too because we don't know when Alba will be able to play)
PG: Lindsay Whalen(Usa NT), Işıl Alben(Tur NT), Özge Yavaş
SG: ??? , Ayşe Cora(Junior NT)
SF: Alba Torrens(Spa NT), Şaziye İvegin(Tur NT), Gülşah Gümüşay
PF: Sancho Lyttle(Spa NT), Nevriye Yılmaz (Tur NT), Bahar Çağlar(Tur NT)
C: Sylvia Fowles(Usa NT), Ann WautersWe have very deep 4-5 rotations, for me the best in Euroleague. Fowles, Wauters, Lyttle and Nevriye are among the bests in their positions in the world. However our SG position is just hopeless We don't have any scorer guard right now. Whalen is a good PG, and I have some doubts if she can play as SG beside Işıl. Probably in the league we will play mostly with these starting 5: Whalen-Işıl-Torrens-Nevriye-Fowles and the back up foreigner will be Sancho Lyttle. Maybe, it is enough in Turkish league but we will have big troubles in Euroleague with these guards. I hope a European SG will be transfered for Euroleague.

Curious against who will play EuroCup Champion russian Dynamo Kursk in the 2012 FIBA SuperCup?
Valencia EuroLeague Champion doesn't exist. Maybe Madrit v-ce ELC. -
