The three-cushion European championship in 1951 was the eighth tournament in this discipline of the collision and took place from February 8 to 11, 1950 in Antwerp, Belgium .
history
For the first time the European Championship took place in the Belgian metropolis. As if this were a hint, the runner-up from 1947 and 1949 , René Vingerhoedt , won the title from the host country. He was not to give it up until 1957, the year of the double EM. This started the 32-year-old Belgian dominance in this tournament series. Until 1983 only two non-Belgians will win here; - Bernard Siguret from France (1957) and the Austrian Johann Scherz 1958. Otherwise the title went 21 × to Raymond Ceulemans and 1 × to Arnold de Pappe (1972).
Vingerhoedt also secured all tournament records, but he had to share the best individual average with his third-placed compatriot Léonard Dessart . It was the first European Championship since 1939 that the winner won without losing a game. Unique to date; - Vingerhoedt won five points ahead of second.
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. In 1950 he was able to increase the GD by 62 thousandths and won with 0.584 and at the current EM he increased his GD again by another 9 thousandths to 0.593 and was ... again last!
