# Jeux sans frontières season 3

The 3rd season of the international television game show Jeux sans frontières was held in the summer of 1967. Broadcasters from Belgium, France, Italy, West Germany and, for the first time, Switzerland and the United Kingdom participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The different heats were hosted by each of the participant broadcasters in locations in their countries such as Vincennes (France), Pisa (Italy), Brussels (Belgium), Straubing (West Germany), Locarno (Switzerland), and Blackpool (United Kingdom). The grand final was held in Bardenberg (West Germany). The head international referees in charge of supervising the competition were Gennaro Olivieri and Guido Pancaldi [it].
For this season, the neutral jury and the "Game of Questions" were discarded, and jokers (which allowed a team to double their score) were introduced. In addition, all of the participating teams played in one location rather than in two separate ones. The "jeu handicap" ("handicap game") was also introduced, which was played as the final game.
The season was won by the team from Bardenberg, West Germany, the runner-up being the team from Nogent-sur-Marne, France.
