The Dutch premier league is coming up to its 13th round this Sunday and is in the hunt for leader Babbelz. For instance, Team Eekhoorn, the number two ranked in average, plays the away match against De Biljartacademie, the number last in the Kozoom league, in the very strongest line-up: Nick Polychronopoulos, Eddy Leppens, Peter Ceulemans and Frans van Kuyk. Also notable is Aartsbouw's line-up for the home match against Bousema with four Belgians: the numbers 1 and 2 from the Multi's, Eddy Merckx and Ronny Brants, completed by Tom Persyn and Wesley de Jaeger. Anyway, that match is topped by a great poster on centercourt: Merckx-Tasdemir.

Team Babbelz will be in action on Sunday with Savas Bulut leading the way for the home match against Dallinga.com.

The strength of the Kozoom league is evident from the high team averages played. Team Babbelz is also number one in this with 1,480 ahead of Team Eekhoorn with 1,430. SIS/Vervoort is only number 8 in the rankings, but also has a very good team score 1.418. All teams have averages over 1,000.

The top ten highest individual averages so far with two Belgians in the lead followed by one German and three Dutchmen in the top ten (played at least 5 matches):
