Dear sportsmen, sportswomen, and billiard fans.
T
Two years ago, in Brandenburg on the Havel, a new era began in the over 50-year history of the Confédération Européenne de Billard (CEB): For the first time, the men and women from all Carom disciplines, and all ages, met in the „Steel Palace“ for a common European Championship. The great success of this new form of European Championship, has shown that the European championship concept implemented in Famagusta (Cyprus) at the CEBcongress in 2011, is valid and sustainable. After the successful premiere, the second edition of this major international event in billiards is set for April, 24th to May, 3rd 2015. For many months, head organizer, Helga Blawid, has been working diligently with her team, on the preparation for the European Championship. As always, for the Brandenburg billiard enthusiasts, it is not only about providing optimal competition conditions and fair decisions, for the European elite players, on their way to winning the coveted title. As we know, a success-
carom-ec 2015
ful Championship always requires the appropriate organization and conditions. The Federal Garden Show, which is being held this year in our city, as well as in four additional locations in the region, offers ideal possibilities. Our guests, from near and far, have not only the opportunity to experience billiards at the highest level. They will also feel welcome in a colourful and thriving city with hospitable and open-minded people, and an international flair.
Best of luck to all this year‘s participants, and let‘s hope that the preparation and organization goes smoothly. And of course, best wishes to all of our guests - may you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Brandenburg on the Havel River. Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Dietlind Tiemann Lord Mayor and Supporter
Many thanks to all who contribute their time and resources to the preparation and organization of the upcoming 2015 championship, as well as to all sponsors, contributors and facilitators for this important sporting event.

Can only be found from April, 24th to May, 3rd 2015, at the „Steel Palace“ in Brandenburg on the Havel River. Nearly 500 players will compete, under the watchful eyes of international referees, for titles and medals in all disciplines. Not only in match billiard play, but also on the „small tables“. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope that you are able to reach your goals and objectives. An event of such grand proportions, can only be organized with close partnership, and support, from the city and valued sponsors. Brandenburg on the Havel, has once again demonstrated that it is truly a „sports friendly“ city with much to offer. We would like to thank our main patron, the Lord Mayor of Brandenburg, Dr. Dietlind Tiemann, who has supported this event with great personal commitment, as well as Mr. Gunter Baaske (SPD), Brandenburg‘s Minister of Education, Youth and Sport, who has also provided much greatly appreciated support.
With Gabriels Biljarts tables, Simonis cloth, and Aramith Billiard balls, this year‘s competitors will have the best conditions, allowing for maximum performance. We would like to thank our sports partners for their generous support, and especially the Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse, as well. Without their help, the championship would not be possible. The Stahlpalast in the Axxon Hotel provides an outstanding tournament location, with an unforgettable atmosphere. Kozoom will be live streaming all the action on the 20 billiard tables, around the world - so the excitement in Brandenburg on the Havel, can be experienced anywhere on the globe. The Touch magazine team will be responsible for spreading the word via print media. More than 100 referees and personal, from several European nations, will ensure a fair and enjoyable tournament for all. I would also like to thank all of you, for volunteering your expertise and integrity.
I‘m looking forward to seeing all of our supporters, guests, and spectators in Brandenburg. Together, we will experience 10 days of excitement, titles, and the best performances from the diverse world of billiard sports. Please join us at the 2015 European Billiards Championships in Brandenburg on the Havel River. Confédération Européenne de Billard

European Championships back to the Havel 18 titles in ten days On April, 24th 2015, the Lord Mayor of the city of Brandenburg on the Havel, Dr. Dietlind Tiemann, as proud supporter and patron, presents this year‘s European Billiards Championship, of the Continental Association of the Confédération Européenne de Billard (CEB). 6

Just two years ago, the „Steel Palace“ was the venue for the title competitions, and this year it was decided by the German organizing committee, with the CEB-president Wolfgang Rittmann, that the city on the river Havel will host this prestigious event once again. „The many large billiard events which have already taken place in Brandenburg, inspired us two years ago, to hold our finals here. Our expectations concerning the infrastructure as well as the nearby hotel have been exceeded - so it makes perfect sense, in 2015, to return back here,“ said Rittmann. After the premiere billiard competitions, held all under one roof, was such a great commercial success two years ago, the European carom-ec 2015
Association is staying with this proven model. So now around 500 players, from all member federations, will be meeting from April, 24th to May, 3rd to compete for 18 different titles, to decide the new leaders in European billiards men, women and youth categories. For Rittmann the youth involvement is especially important, „because young players are the future of our sport.“ In the spotlight, with almost 30.000 Euros in prize money, is the men‘s Three Cushion competition. The best of the best will be on hand this year - defending champion Marco Zanetti from Italy, Frederic Caudron (Belgium) as well as previous champion Torbjorn Blomdahl from Sweden, have all registered to compete. The German particicarom-ec 2015
pants will also want to prove themselves, with 2013 European champion runner-up Christian Rudolph (Bottrop) hoping to secure a spot in the winner’s circle. BergischGladbach’s Martin Horn also deserves a serious look. Most recently he impressed the billiard community by placing second in his class, at the Lausanne Masters. Many enthusiasts in Germany have discovered the game with the 5 small cones in the middle of the table, which must be knocked by a carom. This popular billiard variation is gaining traction especially in Italy, both as individual and team competition. It‘s anyone‘s guess as to who will win the gold this year, but Germany is sending a very capable group of players. The Azzurri were defea-

How to play carom-billiards Also called French billiards, carom billiard is played at competitive tournaments on both smaller tables (2.10 meters x 1.05 meters) as well as on the large 10-foot Match billiard tables (2.84 meters x 1.42 meters).

Basically, in all carom-disciplines an athlete plays the whole match with the white (yellow) cue ball. A properly point is made by touching the other two balls (carom). Varying per discipline, on the way to the last carom, various tasks have to be fulfilled. It applies not only to make the point, but also to 26
control the balls in a way to have an easy following position, and to leave a difficult situation for the opponent. Depending on the discipline, the matches are played to a particular distance with or without limitation of takes, or in a set-system. Except for Three Cushion and Artistique, the other disciplines are also called “classic” or “serial” disciplines, because
series of one hundred or more points are not uncommon. Partie Libre: This is the basic version of carom billiards. On the table there is a white, yellow, and red ball. The object of the game is to hit both balls with your cue ball (white or yellow). It does not matter if the contact is made directly, or carom-ec 2015
off one or more rails. When you hit both balls, it is called a carom, and the player receives one point. The best strategy is, of course, to try to keep the three balls as close together with minimal movement, in order to be able to score a high number of points. Since it is much easier to make a point when the 3 balls are resting together in a corner, there are only a limited number of points available in the corners. One Cushion and Three Cushion Here, the cue ball has to hit at least on cushion before the carom with the third ball. When this contact takes place does not matter. In carom-ec 2015
right of a carom line (each in a different field) and to keep them in this easy to solve position for many caroms.
Three Cushion it have to be three rail contacts. The difficulty of that is illustrated by the partially immense long ways of the balls on the table. Cadre: In this variant the playing area is sectioned in fields (cadres). There is only one carom allowed in a field, with the second carom, one of the balls hit has to leave the cadres. The names of the Cadre disciplines are determined by the size of the fields, which in turn determines their number. The bigger the fields and the smaller their number, the higher the difficulty. The high art is to place the both hittable balls left and
With Artistique, given figures have to be solved. The drawn lines on the cloth are an assistance for athletes and referees.
Artistique: This discipline is certainly the most spectacular, and promises countless interesting moments. With Artistique the challenge is to reenact predetermined shots and, depending on the difficulty, get various points for it. For each of these socalled „figures“, the player has three attempts. Here, the laws of physics seem partially overridden. 5 Pin: 5 Pin is a specific variant of carom billiards, which is mainly based in southern Eu27

In Europe, the CEB organizes an Individual’s European Championship every two years and a National Teams Championship each year. Since 1990, 5 Pin attracts more and more applicants in Germany, who fight in individual and team competitions for federal and state titles. By far the most successful nation in 5 Pin is Italy. There, the National Association has built a competitive sports system over the last ten years. The pre-requisite for scoring points is quite simple: The pin must fall.

In 5 Pin, there are pins made of mother-of-pearl (1 red and 4 white) placed in the middle of the table. As with the other disciplines the one player uses the white ball as cue ball, the other player uses yellow. In conjunction with the red ball, also located on the table, not only do successful caroms bring points, but knocking down the pins score the most points. These must be indirect, meaning that the pin is knocked over only after contacting a ball from the opponent. The red ball may never be played first, and you may not knock over the pin with your own game ball - otherwise the op-

ponent scores! In contrast to the other variations of billiards, in 5 pin, the player does not continue shooting until he misses a shot - instead the players alternate shooting. It is important, of course, if the left situation is an offensive or defensive position. The interested viewer already knows this from snooker TV broadcasts. The goal is to achieve the defined score. Even if this game sounds complicated, every viewer will easily be able to judge and acknowledge the individual shots after a short time of watching.
