In the past, other disciplines such as pentathlon or three-cushion team championships were also played. The umbrella organization is the Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) .
The game season runs from August to the following July. The venues are not fixed and change. The tournaments take place around the world, so that each continental association is once host. This then has z. B. to award two extra wildcards at the World Cup.
Rating
The tournaments of the current season, with the exception of the three national championships, are used for evaluation in the world rankings (see table below).
