Official decision of EUROHOLD Balkan League regarding the game KS Vllaznia - KK Mornar

Here is the official decision of EUROHOLD Balkan League regarding the game KS Vllaznia - KK Mornar:


On October 28th 2014 the home game of KS Vllaznia, Game B5 KS Vllaznia – KK Mornar Bar, was not played due to technical problems in the gym as a result of lack of organization and unprofessional actions of the management of the home club. This case is the first one in the seventh year history of the Balkan League and is absolutely unacceptable.

One (1) hour before the starting hour of the game and one hour afterwards, the club could not find any proper solution to the technical problem and the not functioning electronic device for time and 24 seconds. Even the proposal to use the old equipment of the gym, especially the 24-Seconds-device, could not be fulfilled as the old equipment was not in proper technical situation and could not function either.

After checking all the parameters in the gym, the commissioner of the game and crew chief decided to cancel the game. This decision was correct and supported by the Sports Director of the Balkan League who was present in the gym during all this time.

The result of not playing the game, besides the sports one, is huge damage over the image of the Balkan League. Not only did we lost money from our sponsors for this particular game and DigitAlb/SuperSport canceled the contract with us, but this will also reflect into future financial and moral losses to the League.   

Taking into consideration that this is the first ever home game of KS Vllaznia and the fact that the Balkan League would like to keep the fair and sports competition in the league and not to create advantage/disadvantage to any team, the decision of the Sports Director regarding this game and for the future according the official regulations of the Balkan League is as follows:

The result of the game B5 KS Vllaznia – KK Mornar Bar will remain 20-0 to KK Mornar Bar with 1 point for the classification to KS Vllaznia.
