The three-cushion European championship in 1950 was the seventh tournament in this discipline of carom and took place from March 2nd to 5th, 1950 in Amsterdam .
history
The Dutch metropolis hosted the EM for the third time since 1932 and 1935. The number of participants fell, for the first time after 1947, to eight players. The defending champion Alfred Lagache from France played the best individual average (BED) of 1,000, but ended up only in 5th place. Together with the winner from the host country, Bert Wevers , he was still able to play the highest tournament series ( HS ) of 8 . However, this was far below the previous record of 12 from 1948. The overall average of the winner Wevers was 0.584, well below the tournament average of 0.629, which was the worst overall result since 1935. The winner of the first EM in 1932 , Alfred Aeberhard from Switzerland, could not build on this success and came last.
mode
The game was “everyone against everyone” to 50 points with an equal number of shots .
Oddities
Average is (not) everything! The Dutch Bert Wevers was at the EM in 1949 with a general average (GD) of 0.522 last of the tournament. At this year's tournament he was able to increase the GD by 62 thousandths and won with 0.584 and in 1951 he increased his GD by another 9 thousandths to 0.593 and was… again last!
