history

In the 19th century in the United States, after a number of single tournaments, also known as indirect games, took place among professionals but had not yet established themselves, the UIFAB started this discipline among amateurs in 1934. The first winner was the Austrian Ernst Reicher ahead of the Portuguese Alfredo Ferraz . The tournament was rated for the 1933/34 season because the second World Cup took place in December.

mode

The final round was “everyone against everyone” up to 150 points. If there was a tie at the top, a tie-off game was played for victory.
