The event hall of the German Billiard Championships

The German Three Cushion Championship 1978/79 (DDM) was the 45th edition of this tournament series and took place from December 7th to 10th, 1978 in Gelsenkirchen .

history

The billiards amateur association Westphalia, as the local organizer, had organized a quadruple championship in the Gelsenkirchen sports center Schürenkamp, a novelty . At the same time as the German three-cushion championship, the youth ( free game ), juniors (Cadre 47/2) and the German Cup team championship were held. The regional chairman and later CEB president Wolfgang Rittmann was in charge .

All too often, "the old man" Gert Tiedtke (born 1922) had to be satisfied with second or third place in his career, which actually lies in the art thrust and where he won the German title in 1976 and 1977. In the 1940s and 1950s first behind his “big brother” August , still the record holder with 20 titles in this DM, later Ernst Rudolph , Siegfried Spielmann and then in the 1970s behind the defending champion Dieter Müller . In the decisive game of the final round against Müller he managed a series of 11 points, which he was able to hold until the end of the game, despite Müller's hard-fought game, and after a good 30 years as a participant in this DM, he finally received the title in the top tier of carom billiards. It was to be his only victory.

mode

The number of participants remained at 12 players and was divided into three groups of four players. The game system was also retained from the previous year, distance game on 60 points, 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 third place. The entire tournament was played with a kickoff . The final placement was based on the following criteria:
