Three-cushion season 2011/12

The three-cushion season 2011/12 ran from August 2011 to July 2012. Exceptions were the World Cup , which was not held in autumn, as usual, but in July, and the Verhoeven Open , which did not take place until the beginning of August 2012. This was not a fixed tournament calendar. The Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) and Confédération Européenne de Billard (CEB) associations were able to approve further tournaments while the game was running.

General

In contrast to the snooker main tour, where the professional players have to live off their tournament successes (with higher prize money at the same time), in a collision the players are still involved in normal league operations and are subordinate to the clubs (similar to footballers) Contract and are paid by them. Top players such as B. Martin Horn , Frédéric Caudron or Torbjörn Blomdahl often play for two or more clubs across Europe. Since both the world association Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) and the continental association Confédération Européenne de Billard (CEB) are based in Europe, league operations were taken into account when they were founded. This fact results in the relatively low number of tournaments per year compared to snooker. The clubs still play their best in the Coupe d'Europe , comparable to the UEFA Champions League .
