The FIQ president and vice presidents are elected after every four years. The rest of the members of the Council are selected by zones and sections of WTBA and WNBA also after every four years. Organizational and other issues are discussed on conferences that take place after every two years (usually at the same place and on the same time as the World Championships).
FIQ president ja asepresidendid valitakse iga nelja aasta tagant. Ülejäänud presiidiumi liikmed valitakse WTBA ja WNBA tsoonide ja sektsioonide poolt samuti iga nelja aasta tagant. Organisatoorseid ja teisi küsimusi arutatakse iga kahe aasta tagant korraldatavatel kongressidel (tavaliselt MM-iga samas paigas ja samal ajal).
