The 14th Youth Pétanque World Championship took place from August 30th to September 1st, 2013 in Montauban in the south of France . It was played in the Triplette formation with a substitute. Only players born in 1996 or younger, i.e. no more than 17 years old, were eligible to play .

At the same time as the Triplette World Championship, the 7th World Youth Championship took place in the Tir de précision , for which each participating nation was allowed to nominate a shooter .

30 nations took part in both competitions. The host France and the reigning world champion Thailand were allowed to provide two teams in the Triplette, so that 32 teams played for this title. The defending champion in the Tir de précision, Diego Rizzi from Italy , did not take part in the championships because he was too old in 1994.

Both disciplines were organized by the world association FIPJP .

Triplets

32 teams from 30 nations take part in the triplet competition. Each team may replace a player and a substitute player once during a game. After this no more players may be exchanged. Because of the mode , each team has at least six games ahead of them.

Attendees

The list of participating nations was published a good month before the start of the World Cup. As in 2011, 32 teams are taking part in the triplet competition.

Participating Nations

22 from Europe	Belgium	Denmark	Germany	England	Estonia	Finland
	France	Israel	Italy	Luxembourg	Monaco	Netherlands
	Austria	Poland	Russia	Sweden	Switzerland	Slovakia
	Spain	Czech Republic	Turkey	Hungary
4 from Africa	Algeria	Ivory Coast	Madagascar	Tunisia
2 from Asia	Japan	Thailand
1 from Oceania	Australia
1 from America	Canada

Participating players

All teams announced their World Cup line-up no later than two weeks before the start of the tournament.

The DPV , vice world champion in 2011, nominated the following four players for the tournament: Sven Laube (BC Saarwellingen / Saarland), Luis Maecker (Vogelsberger BF / Hessen), André Skiba (BC Edingen Neckarhausen / Baden-Württemberg) and Simon Striegel (BC Ettenheim / Baden-Württemberg).

Apart from Striegel, who was also at the World Championships in Kemer , the nominated team has no international experience and is therefore more likely to be classified as an outsider.

The players in italics also take part in the Tireur competition.

mode

As in 2011, the competition will be held in two phases:

Phase 1: - Swiss system

The 32 participants play five preliminary rounds according to the Swiss system, at the end of which 16 teams with 3 or more wins remain in the tournament. The remaining teams play after the preliminary round in the so-called Coupe de nations, the "B tournament".

During the preliminary round, the game is played with a time limit of 1 hour + 2 recordings .

Phase 2: - KO system

In both the main tournament and the coupe de nations, the players in the final are then sought in the eighth, quarter and semifinals.

The game is played according to a tree structure , so that the first and second can only meet in the final after the preliminary round.

Time schedule

The general assembly of the youth department of the world association takes place one day before the official start of the competition.

On Friday morning, the nations can expect an official performance in downtown Montauban before the sporting part of the World Cup begins.

The future world champion has to complete 9 games over 3 days, for the 30 participants in precision shooting there are up to 5 exercises of 20 shots each.

There is only one award ceremony for both competitions on Sunday evening before the traditional gala dinner for all participants, delegates, referees and officials concludes the championships.

Swiss system

With the same mode as in the 2011 World Cup, all teams were guaranteed 5 games.

After the 5 rounds there are exactly 16 teams with 3 or more wins that will continue to play for the world championship title, while the teams with 2 or fewer wins continue to play in the Coupe des nations, the "B-WM".

In the preliminary round there is a time limit (60min. + 2 recordings).

Teams that have already played against each other cannot meet again in the preliminary round.

1 round

Germany met Slovakia in the first round, which surprisingly reached the second round in 2011. However, the favorite won confidently with 13: 5.

The top favorites from France as well as the strong European teams from Belgium, Italy and Spain showed no nakedness.

There have already been two very top-class games between Monaco and Algeria (13: 2) and between Madagascar and Tunisia (13: 7)

Surprising was the clear victory of the Dutch against Thailand A and the success of Poland over Sweden (by the way, as well as in 2012 at the men's World Cup in Marseille ).

Germany	-	Slovakia	13: 5
Thailand B	-	Canada	13: 4

The two French equipes remained sovereignly unbeaten, as did the Swiss team.

The Netherlands (against Italy) and Denmark (against Belgium) also surprisingly won their second game.

The hapless Austrians and the quarter-finalist from 2011, Algeria, were still without a win.

3rd round

The third round, which took place on Saturday morning, was drawn on Friday evening following the second round.

Germany met Israel and clearly lost with 1:13.

The still unbeaten Switzerland lost to France B and missed the direct knockout round qualification,

After the defeat by Estonia, Austria said goodbye to the Coupe de nations.

The “Equipe Tricolore” won the “top game” in the “Derby” between France A and Monaco with just 12:10

Estonia	-	Austria	13: 1
England	-	Algeria	10:13
Australia	-	Japan	5:13

4th round

In round 4 the teams (including Germany) were already looking to stay in the World Cup with a win.

The DPV team met Canada and lost 10:13. Italy (against Ivory Coast) and Algeria (against Finland) are already playing "for survival", but were able to win their games.

The still undefeated teams were now mainly playing for a good starting position for the knockout round. France A - Thailand B and France B - Spain were these exciting top games in which the French team prevailed.

Switzerland expected a difficult lot with Monaco and lost just 9:13.

After this round, in addition to the two teams from France, Spain and Thailand B, Monaco, Belgium, Turkey, Madagascar, Israel and Sweden were also qualified for the round of 16.

Ivory Coast	-	Italy	5:13
Australia	-	Czech Republic	5:13
Austria	-	England	7:13

5th round

For Germany the World Cup was already over after three defeats, against the Czech Republic it was only about a good starting position in the Coupe de nations, the game was won 13: 9.

Switzerland and the Netherlands expected difficult tasks with Italy and Algeria and were eliminated after two opening wins.

The game for first place in the preliminary round will be between the two French teams that France A won.

Closing table

For the sequence in the final table, which is important for the division of the three groups, first the number of wins, then the Buchholz points and then the ball difference count.

The first 16 (3 and more wins) reach the round of 16 of the World Cup, the teams with two or fewer wins continue to play in the Coupe des nations.

Tir de precision

In the Tir de précision (zD: Precision Shooting ) there is one representative from each nation. André Skiba started for Germany. Defending champion Diego Rizzi (Italy) is not there. In the preliminary round, all 30 athletes shot a complete round of 20 shots. The first 4 of the preliminary round reached the quarter-finals directly, the Tirure in places 5–21 went into the Repêchage, the second chance in which the best four also qualified for the quarter-finals. From the quarterfinals on, the knockout system, Tireur versus Tireur, continued.

Preliminary round

The best result of the preliminary round was achieved by Guillaume Magier (France) with 45 points. André Skiba reached the Repêchage in eighth place with 27 points.

Repêchage

In the Repêchage, the shooters, who landed in the preliminary round in places 5-21, competed. The first four of this round also qualified for the quarter-finals. André Skiba and the Swiss starter Gaetan Ammann clearly missed the quarter-finals.

The Pole Sergiusz Gadek only missed the final because he had scored fewer "fives" than the fourth from Luxembourg with the same number of points.
