AK Ostrów 1947 wins the U17 tournament
The first match of the tournament offered an interesting spectacle. The home team AK Ostrów 1947 played an interesting game with the Slovak team BKM Iskra Svit . The first quarter belonged to the Slovak team, then the home team took a slight lead, which eventually won by thirteen points in the end. In the second match, the Polish team KS Korona 1919 RadwanSport Kraków met another Polish team SKM Zastal Zielona Góra . Zastal would probably like to forget this "meeting" soon, because Krakow did not take any chances and defeated its rival by a difference of almost thirty points. On the other hand, the match between the German teams Science City Jena and Basketball Talents Potsdam brought real drama. The balanced and fighting performance of both teams was ultimately better handled by the team from Potsdam in the end, winning by only two points.
Saturday morning showed how thin the line is between success and failure. Krakow finished second in the final standings, Svit sixth, but in this match there was almost no difference between the teams. In the first quarter, Krakow gained an eight-point lead, then Svit recovered and was in the lead for the next two quarters. However, the last quarter belonged to the team from Krakow, who squeezed out a two-point win. In the afternoon program, Jena thoroughly tested the home team, having fought a perfectly even fight for three quarters, but thanks to the individual performance of player Igora Szlachetky , who scored 33 points, they ultimately lost by a margin of thirteen points.
On Sunday, Jena will defeat Svit. Potsdam, who played a balanced half with Krakow, but were definitely not happy with the final result, losing by a difference of thirty-five points.

GEN Gaz Energia Tarnovia Tarnowo Podgórne the winner of the U13 tournament
GEN Gaz Energia Tarnovia Tarnowo Podgórne the winner of the U13 tournament
The tournament was opened by the home team BK Lokomotiva Plzeň and its opponent was the Slovak team MBA Prievidza . The match was, as it usually is, more of a warm-up. Prievidza did not catch the approach of Plzeň in the first quarter, which also affected the rest of the match, when the Slovak team tries to reduce the sixteen-point deficit from the first quarter and, on the contrary, Plzeň controls this lead and gradually increases it only slightly. In the end, the home team won by thirty points. The second match had a very similar course, here the better team was the Polish team GEN Gaz Energia Tarnovia Tarnowo Podgórne . On the other hand, the early team Válečníci Děčín is only just acclimatizing along the way and is recording a loss by a difference of more than twenty points. And as they say, good and bad come in the third. The Polish team M KS Basket Szczawno Zdrój saw off the Austrian academy BBLZ - Reach the Top with a score of 93:44.
On Saturday, everything interesting happened in the afternoon. First, the home team Plzeň played a balanced match with the Polish team GEN Gaz Energia Tarnovia Tarnowo Podgórne . The first half of the match was very balanced and it seemed that the home team had a better flow. After the half-time break, however, the Polish team showed a better face and eventually won by seven points. The second interesting match also offered a Czech-Polish duel. Válečníci Děčín show what the strength of a "warrior" is, when after the first half of the match they have a six-point lead, but after the third quarter the Polish team is in the lead by seven points, so that in the end the Czech team won the victory by eight points. It was certainly a great spectacle for the spectators, but the information from the tournament is tactfully silent about how many hairs turned gray for the coaches.
On Sunday, the Polish team GEN Gaz Energia Tarnovia Tarnowo Podgórne leaves no doubt that it is going for victory in the tournament. This euphoria was carried away by the Slovak team MBA Prievidza . Prievidza suffered a heavy loss on the way home. Válečníci Děčín are also clearly pursuing their goal of winning bronze medals and will not give the Austrian academy from Klosterneuburg any hope of victory. The home team Plzeň has to fight hard for their positions with the Polish team M KS Basket Szczawno Zdrój . In the first half of the match, Plzeň struggles with the style of the Polish team and loses by a difference of four points. In the second half of the match, the home team adapted better and eventually won by a difference of thirteen points, confirming the silver medals.

And it was the home team that led by almost twenty points at half time. In the end, the home team won by a difference of fifteen points. In the second match, the BK Opava team entered the tournament strongly, when they thoroughly defeated the Austrian team Vienna Timberwolves . Opava helped themselves mainly with team play, when five players recorded double-digit shooting performance. The last team to enter the tournament is the Polish team KS Korona 1919 RadwanSport Kraków . And the Polish team does not enter the tournament very happily, when they lose to the home team by eighteen points.

ŠBK Galaxy Košice wins the U17 tournament
ŠBK Galaxy Košice wins the U17 tournament
In the first game of the tournament, the home team Basketpoint Frýdek-Místek managed to beat another Czech team BK Sojky Pelhřimov , which is a newcomer to CEYBL tournaments. It was not a smooth victory, but in the end it was quite comfortable. In the second game, the eventual winner, the Slovak team ŠBK Galaxy Košice was no match for the Polish team PGE Giek Turów Zgorzelec . It was already clear after the first quarter who was the master on the court. Košice's lead grew during the game and stopped at a number fifty points higher than the Polish team had achieved.
On Saturday, the duel between Zgorzelec and Pelhřimov was interesting. It was played in the spirit of the "up, down" game. First, the Sojky take the lead, halfway through the game the game is almost even, after the third quarter Zgorzelec leads by three points, but in the end the Czech team wins by four points. The second interesting match was between Basketpoint and Košice, which was a duel for first place in the table before the medal matches. The home team did not succeed in this duel at all and in the end they lose by a difference of almost twenty points. However, the home team has a chance to retaliate on Sunday.
On Sunday we start with the match for third place in the tournament. Pelhřimov and Zgorzelec played here. The Sojka have a very bad start to the match and the difference after the first quarter is twenty points. In the middle of the match the difference is no longer so noticeable and the Czech team is soon closing in, which continues in the third quarter, when the difference fell below ten points, which is considered the psychological limit for returning to the match. In the end, the Sojka are unable to make a comeback and Zgorzelec avenge their defeat and win the bronze medals. A great match for first place closed this tournament. The home team showed a much better performance against Košice in the rematch of the group match. The match was extremely balanced and combative throughout. The Slovak team managed the ending better and won both the match by two points and the first place in the tournament.

Basket 4kids Zielona Góra wins the U16 tournament
Basket 4kids Zielona Góra wins the U16 tournament
In the first match of the tournament, the home team Basket 4kids Zielona Góra challenged the Ukrainian team SCC Ploskyriv to a duel. The Ukrainian team looked somewhat tired after the long journey and was already losing significantly in the score after the first quarter. The home team had a fairly easy path to its first victory in the tournament. MBK Karlovka Bratislava fought in the next match of the day with one of the highest quality youth programs in Poland PGE Spójnia Stargard . Karlovka did not shy away from the opponent and after the third quarter the difference in the score was only two points. Stargard's experience finally showed and, despite Karlovka's resistance, they won by ten points. In the last match of the first round, the Czech team Vlci Žďár nad Sázavou were comparable to the German precision of Academy Potsdam team until half of the match. In the second half of the match, they already found a recipe for defending the German team and won a comfortable victory. Friday afternoon offered more dramatic matches, as the home team had to fight hard for victory against Stargard, which they eventually succeeded in. The match between Ploskiryv and Ždár was also great to watch, with the Czech team rejoicing in victory.
Saturday morning offered a surprise right in the first match. After the break, the Ukrainian team "caught Stargard on the back foot", having been the better team throughout the match. Karlovka also proved that it is no coincidence that they are in the tournament when they played a really great game with the home team. The home team could not rest for a moment and constantly repelled the attacks of the Slovak team, which was fighting for victory. Although they did not succeed, they still left a positive impression of their game. The home team also had another dramatic match, this time against Ždár. The Wolves enter the match poorly, but halfway through the match, a promising result is shown on the scoreboard for the Czech team. After the third quarter, everything is different again and the Czech team loses twenty points. In the last quarter, the Czech team has a huge desire for victory, but in the end they lose by a difference of five points.
On Sunday, Ploskiryv won over a well-playing Karlovka and thanks to that they also get second place in the tournament due to a better mutual match with Stargard. Stargard defeated the Wolves in the Sunday match, disappointed with the loss to the home team, and thus won the bronze medals. The tournament is closed by the home team, which clearly confirms its victory in the home tournament against the German Potsdam.

MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój wins the U15 tournament
MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój wins the U15 tournament
In the first match of the tournament, the home team PGE Giek Turów Zgorzelec played against the eventual winner of the tournament MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój . And they were the only team in the tournament to beat them, by a margin of almost twenty points. In the second match, we could watch the duel of Czech teams, specifically BK VIVIDBOOKS Pardubice and Sokol Pražský . The Pardubice "Beksa", which is a little closer to Zgorzelec than the "Sokolíci", seemed fresher along the way and won a fairly comfortable victory by a margin of more than twenty points. In the next match, the younger home team, which completed the tournament due to the absence of one of the German teams, bravely resisted a more advanced opponent, who also came from Germany, namely the HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim team. The inexperience of the home team was evident and the "Magicians" had a relatively easy path to victory.
On Saturday morning, the "Sokolík" team played an even match with the Polish team MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój . After the first quarter, the "Sokolík" team leads by several points, then the game is even. The Sokolík team has problems with the combined defense of the Polish team and eventually loses the match by a difference of eight points. Another team that fell into the "joints" of the Polish team's zone defense was "Beksa". This type of defense, which is practically not encountered in the domestic competition, forced them to many losses, which the Polish opponent took full advantage of and won by a difference of twelve points. This greatly confused the table, since the three teams have a balance of four wins and one defeat. So Sunday's program promised some nice drama.
And that's what happened. First, the sleepy "Beksa" gambled with its position in the table for half of the game, losing to the magicians from Crailsheimu . The enthusiastic German team confirmed its quality and gave the Czech team a good beating. Finally, "Beska" recovered and confirmed its paper expectations. Now it had to wait until the last game between the "Sokolíky" and the home team, since only a loss for the Czech team would ensure victory in the tournament. The Sokolíky, on the other hand, had to win over the home team in order to win the bronze medals. In the meantime, however, a game was played between the younger home team and the eventual winner MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój . Now for the last game of the tournament, which offered everything you can expect from basketball. Drama, twists, great performances, sadness, tears and great joy. In the first half of the match, the Sokols suffered from a large number of personal fouls, which the referees "rewarded" them with. Even under this pressure, the result was almost even in the middle of the match. The third quarter was not good for the Czech team, and after it the home team, which was playing actively and euphorically, was enjoying a seventeen-point lead. It seemed that the decision was made. A completely different Sokol Pražský, which was already playing weakened by some players due to personal fouls. You could say "a bench revolt", the players are fighting for their lives and in the final minute and a half before the end they take the lead for the first time. Another whistle from the referee almost sent them to their knees, another personal foul, another "fouled" player and there are only four players available for the game. I don't think even the players know how they managed to defend the home team's superiority in euphoria and thanks to a win by just one point, they can celebrate winning the bronze medals. The home team is sad about winning the "potato medals". This win by the "Falcons" pushed "Beksa" to second place in the tournament, thanks to a worse match with the Polish team MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój .
Final tournament standings:
1. MKS Basket Szczawno Zdrój (Poland)
2. BK VIVIDBOOKS Pardubice (Czech Republic)
3. Sokol Pražský (Czech Republic)

BC Uzhhorod wins U14 tournament
BC Uzhhorod wins U14 tournament
In the first match, the home team BK Pezinok measured their strength with the German team Basketball Talents Potsdam . After a balanced first quarter, the home team took the match firmly into their own hands and won a relatively clear victory. The second match on Friday's program offered a Czech derby between the teams BCM Olomouc and Fastav Zlín . It was a great derby. Olomouc built a twenty-point lead during the first three quarters, but in the end they faced a strong onslaught from Zlín and eventually won by eight points. In the third match, the Ukrainian team BC Uzhhorod entered the tournament and their opponent was the German team NINERS Chemnitz Academy . The whole match was very balanced and after a great fight for every ball, the Ukrainian team won its first win in the tournament. On Friday's program, the home team also played a good match with Olomouc, although after the first quarter it looked like a clear matter for the Olomouc team. The home team showed great effort to dramatize the match in the rest of the match, which they succeeded in doing. However, they did not find the strength to turn things around and lost by five points.
Olomouc played a thrilling match with Uzhhorod on Saturday. They started badly and spent the entire match closing the gap on the Ukrainian team. They failed to turn the tables and Uzhhorod thus gained another difficult victory. The duel between the teams from Potsdam and Zlín also offered interesting moments. Potsdam had a lead of almost twenty points at half-time, but still managed to lose the match by a margin of seventeen points. However, this certainly does not diminish the heroic performance of Zlín, which demonstrated such a great turnaround in the score.
On Sunday, Potsdam, which did not win a single game at the tournament, showed that it is not just a coincidence at our tournaments when it showed a great performance against the later Ukrainian winner. Uzhhorod worked hard to win this match and the tournament. Chemnitz sweated hard with Olomouc for three quarters and the Czech team stayed within striking distance after the third quarter. In the last quarter, Olomouc took a risk and tried to turn the game in their favor, but they failed and thus won bronze. Chemnitz wins silver medals thanks to this win. In the last match, the home team Pezinok was not enough for the Czech team from the city of shoemakers - Fastav Zlín .

AK Orly Wroclaw is the clear winner of the U13 tournament
AK Orly Wroclaw is the clear winner of the U13 tournament
In the first match, the home team Academy NH Ostrava played a duel with the BA Young Diamonds academy. The home team entered the match very actively and did not give the Young Diamonds a chance to think about winning. In the second match, the eventual winner of the tournament AK Orly Wroclaw faced another Polish team Oknoplast Inter-Bud Kraków . Wroclaw did not play nice with Krakow at all and by the middle of the match there was no doubt about the winner. The most dramatic match of the tournament took place in the third match. The players in this match were the Slovak team MBK Karlovka Bratislava and the Polish team Lublinianka KUL Basketball . It later turned out that it was a match for fifth place in the tournament. But the passion and commitment of the teams in the match made it seem like they were fighting for the overall victory. Anyway, Karlovka entered the match poorly, but by the middle of the match they took a few points lead. However, Lublinianka took control and after the third quarter the match was even. The ending was better for Karlovy Vary and they managed to squeeze out a two-point win.
Saturday's match did not offer many close matches. An interesting feature of all the matches was that one of the teams always missed the opportunity to enter the match and only in the case of the BA Young Diamonds academy in the duel with Oknoplast Inter-Bud Kraków did such a team subsequently win the match. With this victory, BA Young Diamonds laid the foundation for winning the bronze medals.
On Sunday, Wroclaw confirmed their gold medal win by defeating Lublinianka. Karlovka held off the Young Diamonds academy for half an hour, who confirmed their bronze medal win with a win. And in the last match, the home team defeated Krakow with a quality performance and won the silver medal.

Gromy Nowy Tomyśl the winner of the U14 tournament
Gromy Nowy Tomyśl the winner of the U14 tournament
The home team Gromy Nowy Tomyśl entered the tournament with a duel with the Slovak team Nitra Blue Wings Academy . The home team gained a slight lead of three points after the first quarter, but then lost it in the second quarter and Nitra took a two-point lead. In the second half of the match, the home team really "pedaled" and won by fifteen points. In the second match, there was a duel between two teams from the Polish city of Wroclaw, namely AK Orly Wroclaw and WKK Wroclaw . Orly did not treat their fellow countryman at all and defeated him by a significant margin. The next match on Friday was between the Czech teams BK Gapa Hradec Králové and BK VIVIDBOOKS Pardubice . Hradec Králové won the first half, in the second half "Beksa" entered a higher performance level and finally won by seventeen points. On Friday, the home team played a close game against another Polish team, Orly, who took a one-point lead in the first half. In the second half, the lead shifted to the home team, who won by eleven points.
On Saturday, the team from Hradec Králové played its best performance of the tournament. After Friday's win, WKK did not even scare the home favorite and really overwhelmed him. At halftime, the difference was only one point, and in the end, thanks to a few minor mistakes, Hradec Králové lost by six points in the final. In the next match, Nitra played with fate in a duel with WKK. After the third quarter, they led by almost twenty points and in the end, they defended the victory in the match by six points.
On Sunday, Hradec Králové, mainly due to a bad start to the match, gave the win to Nitra, who thus won the bronze medals. In the second match, AK Orly Wroclaw thoroughly overtook Beksa from Pardubice. Beksa set the pace of a donkey in this match rather than the racehorse it is known for, allowing the Orly to comfortably confirm the silver medals. In the last match of the tournament, the home team confirmed the gold medals thanks to a win over WKK Wroclaw team. The order for fourth to sixth place had to be decided again by a mini-table of three teams. Here, Beksa had the best score from mutual matches, followed by Hradec Králové, and the order is closed WKK Wroclaw .

NINERS Chemnitz Academy wins U17 tournament
NINERS Chemnitz Academy wins U17 tournament
In the first match, the home team BK Brandýs nad Labem played against the Polish team Weegree AZS Opole . Brandýs did not enter this match very successfully from the beginning, losing nine points after the first quarter. The Polish team increases the lead in the following period and thus easily wins. The second match between Vienna Timberwolves and NINERS Chemnitz Academy was one of the imaginary highlights of the tournament. After the first quarter, the Vienna team led by several points, after the second Chemnitz gained a small lead, after the third quarter the score was almost equal. The German team showed more energy in the last quarter and deservedly won. The match was full of great fights, beautiful shots, great defense and good individual performances. The third match of the day was the fight between the Polish team TS Wisla Jura Basket and the German team SC Weende . And again a very even match, every ball was fought for and in the end the Polish team won the match by a single basket. The first day already indicated that we have two performance baskets in the tournament. The first group of advanced teams, which includes Chemnitz, Vienna and Opole. The second group, which is only growing in performance, which includes Branýs, TS Wisla Jura Basket and SC Weende .
Saturday morning offered a duel between Opole and Vienna, this match, as it later turned out, was a match for silver or bronze in this tournament. Once again, we could watch great youth basketball with great commitment. Vienna built a small lead right at the beginning of the match and, despite Opole's great efforts, kept it until the end of the match and won. Home team Brandýs also played two even matches, losing the first half to TS Wisla, but with increased activity in the second half they won by six points. In the second match, Brandýs challenged the German team SC Weende. The picture of the match was very similar to the morning match, a bad start by Brandýs and subsequently an improved performance in the second half of the match and a win this time by eleven points. Also worth mentioning is the match between Opole and Chemnitz, which offered the highest quality youth basketball. Opole surprised the German team in the beginning with a great defense and a very effective performance in the attack. Thanks to this, Opole took a six-point lead at halftime. After the half-time meeting, a completely new Chemnitz came on, suddenly the court was full of its players, effective finishing was replaced by great defense. After the third quarter, Opole still had a chance to do something with the game, as they were only losing by eight points, but the euphoric Chemnitz completely broke the will of the Opole players and eventually won by twenty-seven points. And that's why basketball is so beautiful, it is played with maximum commitment until the last minute and the game is not decided until the final whistle of the referee.
On Sunday, the "first three" teams confirm their medal positions and defeat the "second three" teams by higher margins. So we can summarize that Chemnitz wins gold, Vienna silver and the team from Opole can rejoice in bronze.
