The three-cushion European championship in 1939 was the third tournament in this discipline of the carom and took place from June 29th to July 2nd in Angoulême in France .
history
The Frenchman Alfred Lagache was able to defend his title from 1935. He was the first player in this tournament series to succeed. He was also the first to cross the “magic limit” of 1,000 in an individual average (BED) at an EM .
The previous record of the highest series , set by the German Otto Unshelm (8) at the first EM in 1932, was broken by the only 17-year-old René Vingerhoedt from Belgium (9). In the early 1950s, Vingerhoedt was to become the first series winner of this European Championship with seven titles in a row.
Still bound by the instructions of the Reich Sports Leader , there were again no German participants in this first and only European War Championship. Only in 1952, at the ninth European Championship, will a German ( August Tiedtke ) take part again.
mode
The game was “everyone against everyone” to 50 points with an equal number of shots .
