2019 was last time i even saw carom table and i played few games of carom back in 2004. Closest carom table where i live is about 500km.. So no any option than online so far. I try get table in our club though 
I did play carom games now one year in online game called shooters pool. Just to learn better cueball and for fun.
I now just packed my bags and hopped train and went to Helsinki and got into Finnish Champs in 3-cushion.
Friday was clubs weekly competition which had only 6 players but couple can avg over 1 in good day. I had 2 warm up strokes and then played competition and was lucky enough to win it with close to 0.6 avg.
Saturday were Finnish Champs with 16 players in and I did not get good start and miss 8 of my first shots. I won still first match and needed another win or loss with good amount of caroms to get last 8 cup. came 4 caroms short to qualify in last 8 and got into 10th place. my avg was little short of 0.5.. so i sucked but I can´t remember still when i had so much fun in competition.
Here me playing with my pool cue(I need carom table and cue badly!!). game starts around 2:03:00 if timestamp on link not working.
If someone knows about 3-cushion tell what u think about my game? I know i hit often too hard but it is because i play too light cue. Also too flexible to play good carom.
Also i think this match was my lowest level play all weekend. I know I can get easily couple notches better if i get proper cue and start hit with proper cuts. Now i was trying to adapt to deflection and swerve whole weekend. It was just too hard with pool cue.
