The German Three Cushion Championship 1975/76 (DDM) was the 42nd edition of this tournament series and took place from September 26th to 28th, 1975 in Berlin .

history

It should be a championship without big surprises, apart from the performance of the newcomers Wolfgang Geukes and Peter Sporer. The criticism of many players of the material and the “polishing behavior” of the referees was surprising. It was hard to explain why the best German players apparently weren't able to get used to the new material after 100 recordings. The Berlin regional association as co-organizer was of the opinion: only "best material" for the "best players"! The tables, towels, boards and balls were ideal. They saw no reason to include the rating of this "difficult material" required by the players in the rating. The polishing of the balls by the referees after each set was also objected to. It was even polished with every subsequent push . Even the simplest three-belts were hardly predictable and uncontrollable due to the band tee. The objections were ignored by the tournament management.

mode

The players were divided into three groups of four players each (GR). The game system was changed from the previous year. It was played in the set system with two winning sets of 20 points each, everyone against everyone. The two best in the group made it to the final round, also everyone against everyone, without a separate final or game for 3rd place. The final placement was based on the match points (MP).

Grouping

After the initial class, the following group divisions resulted:

Tournament course

Group round

Group 1

The defending champion and group favorite Dieter Müller started with a set defeat against his club mate Peter Kuhring, but then prevailed 2: 1. As expected, Paul Kimmeskamp from DBC Bochum 1926 was able to prevail against cadre specialist Peter Sporer. In the second round Paul Kimmeskamp then lost to Peter Kuhring, the hosts' hope for two players in the final round seemed to be fulfilled. Dieter Müller played the best game of the tournament against Peter Sporer with 1.081 GD. He, in turn, managed to win in only two sets in round three against Peter Kuhring, who was playing in disarray, putting himself ahead of Paul Kimmeskamp, ​​who in turn lost 2-0 to Müller.

Group 2

According to the experts, the group favorites were Gert Tiedtke and Joseph Bücken, both of which, as expected, won their two games against Udo Kleine-Weischede and Wolfgang Geukes. In round two, however, Tiedke had to give up a point in a draw against Geukes, whereas Bücken won against Kleine-Weischede. When Geuken won against Kleine-Weischede 2-0 in the last round and Tiedtke lost to Bücken, the surprise was perfect, even if Bücken was only ahead because of his better set ratio.

Group 3

Group three was presented as the most balanced and so the first round began with a draw between Siegfried Spielmann and Peter Donnert, while Günter Siebert clearly prevailed 2-0 against Jürgen Meissburger. As expected, Siebert had more trouble with old master Spielmann and it was 2-1 over the full distance. Donnert could not keep up his good performance from round one and clearly lost in two sets against Jürgen Meissburger. In turn, this event happened in round three against Spielmann, whereas Siebert also won his last round against Donnert 2-1.

Since, according to the new set system, only the points of players who also made it through to the final are counted, the following initial classification resulted for the final round:

Final round

Everyone against everyone, no final.
In the last round of the game there was still a “real final”, the other two games only had statistical value. Both Spielmann and Bücken safely won their games against Geukes and Sporer with 2-0 each. The main attraction then was the game Müller-Siebert. The Berliner was visibly nervous in the first movement, played uncertainly and then handed it over to the Essener after 23 recordings at 14:20. In order to successfully defend his title, he now had to win the next two sets. The second set developed at the climax of the event when Müller produced a series of 11 (tournament record!) And left Siebert at the table 20: 6 in 11 shots. Even the last movement in 19 recordings went to the Berliner, who won the German three-cushion champion for the third time in a row, at 20:18, albeit close.
