The clear dominance PGE Spójnia Stargard is best demonstrated by their results. These boys managed to win all games by a margin of at least 39 points and averaged almost 97 points per game. So there is no doubt that the first place cup is in the right hands.

The home players BK Brandýs nad Labem lost to the winners right away in the opening match of the tournament by the smallest difference of 39 points. The organizers managed the next three matches without any problems, until in the final match they had to turn the match against Mitteldeutsche Basketball Academy in the final period. In the end, this German team finished just short of the winners' podium, as they lost to another German team Thuringia Select Team by a difference of only 3 points.

The last two places were shared by teams from Slovakia. Even their mutual match was very balanced and in the end the players BBA Komárno beat their opponent from MBK Karlovka Bratislava by 5 points.

The home players WKK Wroclaw scored two big turnovers and thanks to this they are happy with the overall victory in the first tournament of the U17 category. In the opening match of the tournament, the home team lost for a long time to the Slovak team AKAPO Lučenec and entered the last quarter with a deficit of 12 points. In the end, WKK managed to turn the match around and win the match by 3 points. A similar scenario was repeated in the last match of the tournament, where in a duel between two undefeated teams, the home team was losing after 3 quarters at ORLEN Akademia BM Stal a point more, i.e. 13. Even in this case, the last quarter clearly belonged to the eventual winner.

The second place remained in Poland, although after losing a well-played match, it has a bit of a bitter taste for ORLEN Akademia BM Stal .

The bronze goes to Slovakia to the AKAPO Lučenec team thanks to a balanced score of 2-2.

The last two places belong to the teams from the Czech Republic, who played on Sunday morning to see who would take the first victory in the tournament. In the end, the boys BK NH Ostrava showed greater quality, pushing Královští Sokoli Hradec Králové team to the last place.

In two matches against Polish opponents, the boys from Děčín had to decide their victory only in the final quarter. On the other hand, they were in control of the other two matches from the opening part.

The final match of the tournament between SKM Zastal Zielona Góra and Górnik Airteam Walbrzych decided the silver. The newcomer won the competition by a ten-point difference, leaving only the bronze bar for the traditional participant and host of this tournament.

The second match on Sunday also determined the direct standings and two teams who were still waiting for a victory faced each other. In the end Sokol Pražský beat another local team and newcomer Korona 1919 Krakow .

ORLEN Akademia BM Stal won every duel by a difference of at least 18 points and thus deservedly took first place. With this lowest difference, they beat UKS SP 27 Katowice , who take the silver.

The bronze goes to Germany to the newcomer Oberpfalz Hunters competition. In one of the most even matches of the tournament, they pushed aside the third Polish team and also newcomer Basket Team Suchy Las .

The last two places were shared by the Czech teams Basketpoint Frýdek-Místek and Královští Sokoli Hradec Králové . In the end, the host club rejoiced in a mutual duel for a single win.

The second tournament of the U14 category was hosted by the Polish city of Žary. And it was the match between the home team and WKK Wroclaw that was the highlight of the entire tournament. In a dramatic duel, the home team was in the lead for a long time, but eventually fell by a single point difference. In the other duels, both favorites dealt with their opponents and took the first two places.

Both Polish teams were joined on the podium by BCM Olomouc , who in the battle for bronze clearly outplayed the Polish team Basket 4kids Zielona Góra . After the gold fight, the second closest result was in the head-to-head fight for 5th place, in which UBC Münster won by 3 points over Jížní Supi .

The greatest quality at the tournament was shown by the WKK players, who managed to beat their opponents in all 5 matches and each time by a significant difference. The cup for first place is certainly in the right hands.

The silver also goes to Poland, to the SKM Zastal Zielona Góra team, which lost only to the winners.

After two losses on Friday BA Nymburk managed to win the remaining matches over the weekend, and the Central Bohemians thus joined the Polish teams on the podium.

The teams in 4th to 6th place have one win each, and thanks to a better score HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim is fourth. They are followed by Czech teams Levharti Chomutov and BA Young Diamonds .

At the beginning of the tournament, we unfortunately had to deal with a big inconvenience with the theft of our equipment from the hall, but in the end we managed to broadcast all the matches live, for which we are glad.

Already the first match of the home boys against Trnava showed who will be the clear favorite. Ostrava clearly had the upper hand in the next matches as well, and it was only in the last two matches that they found a more capable opponent. In the end, however, she won both of these duels with a difference of over 30 points.

Second place will be taken by Inter Bratislava , who are returning to our competitions after a hiatus. In the fight for silver, the Slovak boys managed to outplay the Polish team and newcomers to the NBA Jelenia Góra .

Another newcomer in the competition, namely BK Teplice finished just below the podium. The other ranks were occupied by long-standing participants, i.e. SKM Zastal Zielona Góra and Slávia Trnava teams.

This year's 5th season will be a record in terms of the number of participants and tournaments. A total of 62 teams will be represented in 4 traditional categories for boys. Let's introduce the individual categories.

Boys U13

The youngest category is boys born in 2011 and younger. 6 teams from the Czech Republic, 5 from Poland and 2 from Slovakia will compete in 7 tournaments.

Boys U14

This category is for boys born in 2010 and younger and you can look forward to 9 tournaments and 18 teams. 5 units are from the Czech Republic, 6 from Poland, 4 from Slovakia and 3 from Germany.

Boys U15

The most numerous category this season will be boys born in 2009 and younger. 19 teams will play 10 tournaments in the regular season and there are 8 teams from the Czech Republic, 7 from Poland and 2 each from Slovakia and Germany

Boys U17

The oldest category this year are boys born in 2007 and younger. 6 tournaments are prepared for 12 teams, which are distributed among the individual states as evenly as possible. 3 teams from the Czech Republic, 3 from Poland, 3 from Slovakia, 2 from Germany and 1 from Austria will participate in the competition.

Individual teams can be found in the menu for each category.

The competition system does not change, i.e. each team will play 3 tournaments in the basic part and then the best 6 teams (if there is no organizer among them, then 5 + the organizer) will advance to the final tournament.

The winner of the regular season, the Czech team Sršni Písek , should have been the paper favorite of the entire tournament. However, several of his players received an invitation to the national team on the same date, so the team arrived with the younger boys of the year 2007.

This ensured that more teams would be in contention for the win and the role of favorite fell to the second regular season team, Polish side WKK Wroclaw .

Wroclaw managed to win the first three matches to secure the final first place ahead of schedule. The last victory against the last Písek, which they grabbed only in the final seconds, gave her the most work.

The second place goes to Slovakia in the hands of BK Lokomotíva Sereď , which was not enough for the winner.

The fight for the third place brought great drama and in the end the bronze went to the home team ORLEN Akademia BM Stal , who pushed the Austrian Vienna DC Timberwolves by a single point difference.

The young boys Sršni Písek left the final without a victory, but with many valuable experiences.
