Cadre 71/2 European Championship

Raymond Ceulemans on February 28, 1963 at the EM in Den Helder

The Cadre-71/2 European Championship has been held in the carom variant Cadre-71/2 since 1947 , usually once a year. It has been organized since 1959 by the European carom billiards association Confédération Européenne de Billard (CEB).

history

Before founding a European association, it was initially organized by the world association Union Internationale des Fédérations des Amateurs de Billard (UIFAB) until 1958 . The only exception was 1957, when the newly founded European association Fédération Internationale de Billard (FIB) took over the organization of its own European championship. So it came about that this year there were two parallel European championships, with two European champions.

• UIFAB European Championship 1957/1 with the nations:
  •  France
  •  Spain
  •  Portugal
  •  Austria

• FIB European Championship 1957/2 with the nations:
  •  Netherlands
  •  Germany (incl. Saarland)
  •  Belgium

Since the 2012/13 season, a total tournament with all carom disciplines has been played every two years in Brandenburg an der Havel .

Game distances

From 1947 to 1982 the game was played over a distance of 300 points. Between 1985 and 1989 it was shortened to 250 points. From 1990 to 1992 the sentence system (60, 75, 100 points) was used. From 1997 the distance was increased again to 250 points (200 points in qualification). The entire tournament has been played with up to 200 points since 2013.

Records

The German Dieter Müller achieved the best GD with 95.45 in a Cadre-71/2 European Championship in Strasbourg in 1978.

The Belgian Raymond Ceulemans achieved the highest prolonged series in 1969 at the European Championships in Roubaix with 580 points.

The first player to finish a game up to 300 points in 1 recording was Frenchman Jean Marty ; achieved at the EM 1967 in Heerlen. Raymond Ceulemans, Roland Dufetelle , Hans Vultink , Klaus Hose and Dieter Müller followed (sometimes several times). In the mode up to 250 points, Klaus Hose was the first to finish the distance in one shot; many more players followed.
