The three- cushion European championship 1957/1 was the 14th tournament in this discipline of the carom and took place from March 21 to 24, 1957 in Lisbon .

history

Due to association disputes in the 1956/57 season, between the competing associations Union Internationale des Fédérations des Amateurs de Billard (UIFAB) and Fédération Internationale de Billard (FIB), two European championships were held in 1957. In the following year, however, the disputes were resolved and the usual cycle was adopted.

For the first time in the history of the European Championship, the Portuguese capital was chosen as the venue. The defending champion René Vingerhoedt did not take part in this event, but in the parallel European championships in Antwerp three weeks later ; just like August Tiedtke , Hermann Pompeijus , Ernst Rudolph and Siegfried Spielmann . The French Bernard Siguret , usually found in the midfield, became European champion. However, he had to share the title with Vingerhoedt, who won the FIB EM in Antwerp and thus defended his title for the sixth time in a row.

In front of a home crowd, Jaime Pimenta , the last of the previous year, managed to become Vice European Champion.

The Austrian Johann Scherz , ranked at the bottom of the table at the last European Championships, won the bronze medal. Scherz played the best individual average (BED) of the tournament. That seems to have inspired him so much that he even became European champion a year later.

The game was “everyone against everyone” to 50 points with an equal number of shots .
