Sažetak
The congruence between the average general playing efficiency of basketball teams and their rank in the round robin and the elimination competitive system was assessed on a sample of twelve national junior selections, which competed at the 19th European Championship for Junior Men in Croatia. In the first part of the championship the teams competed according to the round robin system in two groups of six teams (each team played five games), and in the second part according to the elimination system (each of the first eight teams played three games, whereas the last four teams played two games). The sample of variables included the number of points scored and against. The playing efficiency on offence, defence and in general was computed within the shell of the decision-making system HISS 1.2. Pearson’s product-moment coefficients of correlation were also computed. The congruence between the average general playing efficiency of the teams and their classification points in the round robin system was high and statistically significant. The group of the teams of more heterogeneous quality showed a better congruence. The congruence between the average general playing efficiency of the teams and their final placement in the elimination system was much lower than in the round robin system and statistically non-significant. However, the structure of the team’s general playing efficiency in individual games can differ. Teams may achieve the same general playing efficiency by having better playing efficiency on defence, some by having a better playing efficiency on offence and others by balanced playing efficiency in both phases of the game.
