The European Youth Teams Championships or "Team"?

The Youth Teams championships are "the flagship competition of the EBL youth programme". Every member of the EBL may enter one national team in each of three flights: Juniors (under 26), Youngsters (under 21), and Girls (u-26 female).

The biennial Junior Teams tournament was established in 1968 by the EBL Youth Committee, Chair Andre Boekhurst. Youngsters joined the program in 1994 and Girls in 2004. All three competitions are qualify some number of leading teams to represent Europe (zone 1) in the World Youth Teams Championships. Beginning 2005 the European event is conducted in odd years, a full year before the World event.[1]

2011 rendition

In the "Girls" tournament for under-26 female teams, Danuta Kazmucha and Justyna Zmuda of Poland played in the first 8 of 9 matches and were the highest-scoring pair (+256 IMPs).[2] Poland had clinched the championship in Round 8 of 9 with a convincing win over the runner-up Netherlands.[3]

At that point Poland led Latvia and England by 6 and 11 VPs, after 7 of 17 rounds in the Youngsters tournament.[4] Zmuda played in 9 of the last 10 matches, having missed the first 7, and finished as the fourth-high scoring player in that tournament (+255 IMPs).[5]

Zmuda & Krysa scored the highest average 1.42 IMP per deal in the Youngsters (followed by Krysa & Lonski 1.24 and the English pair 0.94). The ENglish were one of eight pairs to play all 340 deals. Four pairs played all 420 deals in the Juniors.

Zmuda & scored the highest average 1.07 IMP per deal in the Girls. They played 240 of 288 deals. (15 of 18 sets of 15). Poland's second pair was second-high scoring, followed by two Dutch pairs.

Poland won by 26.5 VPs, slightly more than the maximum score of 25 in each match. Poland scored 13 wins, with 3 losses and one tie; 20 VP per match. [20.0, namely 19.0 before Zmuda and 20.7 afterward]

While they did not "romp" to victory as in the Girls field, the 18-VP lead after 14 matches was prohibitive. With three rounds to go, second-place Israel had not yet faced any of the other three leaders. Israel beat Netherlands 53-29 (not a big margin), eked Poland 40-39, and lost to Sweden 40-60.

In the Juniors, the two Israel pairs were second- and third- high scoring per deal behind Agustin Madala and partner for Israel.

Girls: Italy 4, Sweden 5

Pres Yves Aubry, Girls closing ceremony [6]

This Girls competition is a qualification step for the World Championship. In 2010, the girls participated for the first time in a World Championship with only four teams, of which two came from Europe. In 2012, the World Championship for the Girls will be held at the end of July and probably in Cuba. There will be eight teams and I have the great pleasure to announce to you that the first four teams in Albena will be qualified for this World Championship.
