The highlight of the three-cushion billiard season is fast approaching: Preparations for the 37th World Championship Three-Cushion National Teams are in full swing at the Festhalle Viersen.

The seating is in place, the carpets have been laid, and the technical setup is ready. This morning, the Gabriels billiard tables arrived, and are now being carefully assembled and covered with Simonis cloth. Over the next two days, the setup teams will work tirelessly to ensure optimal playing conditions for the athletes and create an exciting atmosphere for the fans.

Tomorrow some national teams are already traveling to Germany to prepare for the event. Official training sessions with Dynaspheres balls will begin on Wednesday, before the first matches kick off on Thursday.
