The World Championship Cadre 35/2 and 45/2 in 1903 by the French Karambolageverband Fédération des Sociétés Françaises des Amateurs de Billard called (FSFAB) into being and was played from 1904 to 1913. In retrospect, the world championships were only rated as “unofficial”, as the parallel association Fédération Française de Billard (FFB) owned the rights to the name “Championate du Monde” (world championship) at the time.
history
The FSFAB, founded in 1903, had the first two world championships held in cadre 35/2 on match billiards. This was still common at the time. It was not until 1906 that they played Cadre 45/2, like the FFB. Since the FSFAB was in cooperation with the US National Association of Amateur Billiard Players (NAABP), three of the thirteen world championships were played in New York. If you consider the time in which it was not yet possible to fly across the Atlantic, but had to undertake a day-long voyage by ship, a quite remarkable achievement and effort for the amateur players, for whom the stock market was by far not as high as the professionals. From this point of view, the FSFAB was closer to a world association than the FFB.
The most victorious player was the French Lucien Rérolle with five gold medals. The tournament records go to his compatriot Alfred Mortier.
mode
The game distance was consistently 400 points. It was played in the round robin / knockout system , mostly it still had trick games to play off the placement. In 1908 there was a challenge tournament based on the American model. The runner-up had the right to challenge the last winner in an individual tournament within six months of the end of the tournament. The game was played in three sections to 400 points with the goal of 1,200 points.
