## Ranking and statistics
### Shooting statistics

2003 research of Croatian kinesiologists on the efficiency of the shooting at the Championship summarized:
   Almost half of all the shots performed (44.61%) were executed from the back-court players' positions (field shots). The winning teams were considerably more efficient in field shots and in 7m throws than the defeated ones - (43.20%) and (76.53%) as compared to (32.52%) and (65.76%), respectively. (...) The winning teams had more successful field shots, 6m-centre shots and wing shots, and fewer unsuccessful 6m-centre and field shots and 7m throws. Scoring efficiency from a distance and from the 6m line differentiates the successful teams (winners) from the unsuccessful (defeated) ones.
