The 2012/13 three-cushion season ran from August 2012 to July 2013.

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 .
