The tournament program started with a match between the home team from Frýdek-Místek and the Science City Jena team. Basketpoint was pulling the short end of the rope for most of the game. However, in the last quarter, he took a breather for the onslaught, which he crowned with the winning shot in the last seconds of the game. The second interesting match in Friday's program offered a duel between "Beksa" ( BK VIVIDBOOKS Pardubice ), which started in this tournament as a guest outside the overall ranking, and PGE Spójnia Stargard . Beksa kept pace for three quarters of the game, when after the third quarter the score difference was only single digits, then Stargard confirmed its quality and wide rotation of players and dominated the game with a difference of 27 points. Later it turned out that this match decided the first and second place in the tournament.

Saturday's program was a rest day for Stargard himself, where he gifted AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski a BK Lokomotíva Sereď with more than 100 points. An interesting menu was offered by Beksy's match, first against the home Basketpoint, where the win was not as easy as the final score suggests, and especially against the German team Science City Jena . Here, extra time brought resolution, where Beks took the victory with the difference of a single three-point shot. Certainly a very interesting spectacle for the audience.

Sunday's program offered a comfortable win for Stargard over Jena. Subsequently, Beksa decided to gamble with her position in the table, when she enjoyed a twenty-point cushion after three quarters, only to defend the victory by just three points in the end. The program of the tournament was closed by the home team from Frýdek-Místek, which packed more than fifty points on the team from Sereď on the way home.

The interesting thing about the tournament is that seven players of the Stargard team maintained an average of more than ten points per game, and the other two are close to it. Great team play and promotion of basketball.

Final standings of the tournament:

Crailsheim played two games on Friday, the first against Kraków, where they recorded a comfortable win. The second with the wolves from Ždár nad Sázavou, who tried to turn the game around in the last quarter, but failed.

On Saturday, the players of the home team probably got out of bed with the left foot, because during the entire match with Oberpfalz Hunters they did not manage to get into the game at all, especially Justus Reintjes , who burdened their account with 31 points, was a problem.

On Sunday, an imaginary final could take place with the Jížní Supi team, which had a record of 4-0 before this match. The first half was very balanced, as evidenced by the halftime score of 30:31 for the team from Prague. After the third quarter, the Jížní Supi team already led by a difference of 9 points and it looked like they were on their way to winning the tournament. However, the home team turned on turbo mode in the last quarter and eventually took the win by 5 points and thus the victory in the tournament.

The other teams also alternated stronger and weaker moments, which eventually led to each team taking home at least one win. This will certainly support them in further work in training.

Final standings of the tournament:

Many close matches were seen at the third tournament of the U13 category, which was hosted by the Czech city of Brandýs nad Labem. The best performance was shown in all duels by the rookie players from BK Lokomotiva Plzeň , who did not experience the bitterness of defeat during the entire tournament. Thanks to a big chase in the final quarter, the boys from Nitra Blue Wings Academy lost to the later winners by the smallest difference of 5 points. For a long time, they reached for the victory over the silver team SKM Zastal Zielona Góra , but in the end they left this duel as losers and ended up just below the podium.

The battle between the two Polish teams for second and third place was clear for SKM Zastal Zielona Góra , which beat Korona 1919 Krakow by a difference of 40 points.

The boys of the host club BK Brandýs nad Labem rejoiced in the battle of two Czech teams and the only victory in the tournament right at the start of the tournament, and Královští Sokoli Hradec Králové was the last place left and they have to try to fight for their first win in one of the other tournaments.

Final standings of the tournament:

Thus, AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski became the winner of the second tournament in the U14 category. Another Polish team MKS Ósemka Skierniewice takes silver medals. The last medalist is Freak City Bamberg , who, although they lost significantly to the home team, then kept pace during the entire match with the silver team from Skierniewice, which they lost in the end with a difference of eleven points.

The Czech teams ( BCM Orli Prostějov a Jížní Supi ) did not do very well in the tournament and took fourth and fifth place respectively. Polish team Lublinianka KUL Basketball ended the tournament without a win.

The interesting thing about the tournament is that the 100-point mark was broken six times, and in the imaginary final match, only three points were missing from breaking the 100-point mark.

Final standings of the tournament:

The medal positions are therefore divided between the home team BC Swiss Krono Žary in second place BK Teplice and the bronze goes to Academy NH Ostrava . The tournament offered many close and dramatic matches that ended with only a single-digit difference.

All the teams from the second half of the table of the tournament, namely UKS Piatka Ostrów Wielkopolski, BSC Bratislava, NINERS Chemnitz Academy, had the opportunity to reach the medal ranking, if they reached the winning end of any of the tied matches. But it didn't happen.

Final standings of the tournament:

NBA Jelenia Góra the winner of the first U14 tournament this season. The NBA won all of its games, and the closest it came to defeat was the home team from Olomouc, which was still losing by only five points at the end of the third quarter. However, he could not withstand the onslaught of the NBA in the last quarter and eventually lost by fourteen points. The paradox is that Olomouc ended up in sixth place in the tournament.

The fight for other medal positions was interesting, where the result of the match between BBLZ - Reach the Top and BA Nymburk, který lépe vyzněl pro tým z České republiky. Oba týmy si připsaly dvě porážky, jednu od NBA a v případě Nymburské akademie navíc jednu od týmu AK Orly Wroclaw.

Basketpoint Frýdek-Místek did not manage two ends of the game against teams from Wroclaw and Nymburk, which condemned it to the final fifth place in the tournament.

Final standings of the tournament:

The first tournament of the U17 category started with a match between the home team and the visiting Academy NH Ostrava . The team from Ostrava could not get to its usual pace in this game and lost it by a difference of 15 points. In the second game of the tournament, a complete newcomer to the CEYBL was introduced, namely BKM Iskra Svit , who easily coped with the team from Hradec Králové. The last to appear in the tournament was the SKM Zastal Zielona Góra team, with which the home team from Krakow did not have the slightest difficulty. Already on the first day, the results indicated the future medalists of the tournament.

On Saturday, the imaginary highlight was the match between the home team and Svit, which after a dramatic course full of emotions, the newcomer from Svit won by a difference of seven points. Subsequently, he could already think about Sunday's "final" match with Academy NH Ostrava . The teams SKM Zastal Zielona Góra and Královští Sokoli Hradec Králové lose their matches by more than 30 points and are basically out of the game for medal positions. In the end, the team from Poland rejoiced in the match for the only win.

The last match of the tournament on Sunday decided the final standings. The numbers were quite interesting. If Svit wins, he will become the tournament's rookie winner. Ostrava needed to win by 23 points for first place in the tournament. Paper assumptions favored the team from Svit. That's why basketball is so beautiful, no assumptions apply. Academy NH Ostrava flew into the game like a hurricane and won the first quarter with a score of 24:9. In the next two quarters, Svit already matched the pressure of Ostrava, and the difference in the score reached a single-digit difference. He even managed to tie the score at 55:55. In the fourth quarter, Ostrava's experience with difficult matches showed itself and in the end they won by a difference of twelve points.

These results put us in the environment of the mini table, where the teams of Krakow, Ostrava and Svit had 3 wins and 1 defeat. So the ranking was determined by the scores from each other's matches. This indicator was the most "cruel" for BKM Iskra Svit , which thus takes the bronze. Academy NH Ostrava , which won its last match "only" by 12 points, takes silver. The completely surprised home team Korona 1919 Krakow won the gold.

Final standings of the tournament:

A very interesting tournament took place in a nice and modern hall in Frýdek-Místek. Already the first day of play offered results that had a significant impact on the final standings of the tournament.

At first, NH Ostrava was not enough against Airteam Walbrzych and lost in their opening game by 16 points. Subsequently, NH Ostrava won all matches with a difference of more than twenty points. The home team Basketpoint entered the tournament very energetically, first defeating the weakened Potsdam by a higher margin and then showing probably their best performance in the tournament, where they defeated Walbrzych by 11 points in a very handsome match.

The dark horse of the tournament turned out to be the AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski team, which was not far from winning over the home team from Frýdek-Místek on Saturday. On Sunday, he could completely mix up the order, when he kept up with the future winner from Walbrzych until the last minutes.

Even the match for fifth place offered a little drama, where the already mentioned weakened team Academy Potsdam led by two digits over BK VIVIDBOOKS Pardubice for three quarters. Unfortunately for them, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the game in a rotation of only eight players, and ended up losing in the end by 4 points.

The order on the podium was determined only by the result of the last match between Basketpoint Frýdek-Místek and Academy NH Ostrava . Frýdek-Místek needed to win the match to win the tournament, in the case of NH Ostrava it was necessary to win by 23 points for the gold medals.

NH Ostrava entered the match aggressively, having already built a double-digit lead in the first quarter. In the rest of the game, her lead fluctuated around a twenty-point difference and several times it even reached the desired difference of 23 points. At the end of the match, Frýdek-Místek mobilized all his strength and the match ended with a difference of 19 points.

A proverb says: "when two fight, the third laughs" is absolutely true here. Thanks to the mini table, Górnik Airteam Walbrzych becomes the winner of the tournament.

Final standings of the tournament:

The players BC Swiss Krono Žary achieved the overall triumph without significant difficulties. The only one who came close was BK Inter Bratislava, který prohrál o 12 bodů a končí tak na turnaji na druhém místě. Ostatním týmům "nadělil" domácí tým více jak třicetibodový rozdíl ve skóre.

The teams Basket 4kids Zielona Góra a BCM Olomouc competed for third place, where the first-named team dominated the match with a difference of 32 points and won bronze medals.

A dramatic match for fifth place took place between Academy Potsdam a AK Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski , with AK Stal enjoying a 10-point lead after the third quarter. Academy Potsdam ve čtvrté čtvrtině mocně finišoval, aby take the narrow win by a single basket in the end.

Final standings of the tournament:

The Kangoo Basket players, who won 3 matches without any major difficulties, reached the overall triumph without significant difficulties. Only Sokol Dubeč was able to keep pace with them for the entire match, and the home team BA Young Diamonds for three quarters as well.

In the other positions, it was already fairly even, as evidenced by the final balance sheet. Two teams were 3-2 and the other two were 2-3. Matches between each other decided the ranking.

The winning of silver and bronze was decided in the last match on Saturday between BBA Komárno and Sokol Dubeč . After a big drama, the Slovak team, led mainly by the best scorer of the tournament, Slugen, rejoiced in the end.

The ranking just below the podium was determined only by the final match of the tournament, in which the home academy dealt with JBN boys and thus took fourth place ahead of their Czech opponent.

In the end, the second Slovakian team ŠBK Handlová finished without a victory.
