The three-cushion European championship for national teams 2020 will take place for the first time since the European carom championship, which has been common since 2013, in a break year (even year) of the 2-year cycle. For the second time after 2010 in Ankara , Turkey will host this championship, which will take place from February 13th to 16th.

history

Only 23 nations are registered instead of the usual 24, so that a group (G) only plays with 2 teams and competes against each other twice in order to give the teams the possible four match points. Antalya has secured three tournaments in a row. Before the European Team Championships, the women play their three-cushion European championship and the first World Cup tournament of the new season follows last . So billiard fans can enjoy 12 days.

mode

The group stage is played in eight groups of three in round robin mode with 30 points. The group winners advance to the final round ( knockout system ). There the scotch doubles are played on 40 points. The game is played with a kick -off; in the final round, if there is a draw, penalty shoot-outs are followed by 15 points.
