The Three-Cushion World Cup is an international tournament series in three-cushion billiards, which is held every year since 1986 between three and ten times a year.

History edit

The World Cup was founded in 1985 by German Werner Bayer, a carom billiards enthusiast and patron. He called the association "Billiards World Cup Association" (BWA) and in 1986 the first tournament was held in Paris. As a patron he had excellent contact to sponsors, and quickly the tournament grew into a popular meeting place for players and spectators. At the time, the World-Cup had one of the highest monetary prizes. Between 1986 and 1989, the prize money per tournament was approximately 100,000 DM, with the winner receiving 50,000 DM. The BWA organized the World-Cup along with the world governing body, the Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB).

Between 1988 and 1993, the UMB no longer hosted any world championships themselves, therefore, for four years, the BWA World-Cup became the default world championship. In 1994 there were disagreements between the two associations. The UMB thus blocked players, including players wives, referees and organizers who took part in the World Cup, from participating in the tournaments of the UMB and CEB (Confédération Européenne de Billard). Thus, between 1994 and 1997, there were two parallel World-Cup championships. The BWA, as usual, played for 3rd place (the only exception was the tournament 1997/7 ), whereas the UMB did not, and therefore had two 3rd-place finishers. (With few exceptions, since the acquisition of the tournament in 1999, this is the rule up to now) .

After settling the disputes, the UMB and the BWA led the tournament together until early 1999 (Berlin Cup). After 1999, Mr. Bayer withdrew from the BWA for health reasons, and the UMB took over the organization of the tournament series from then on and the BWA broke up due to succession problems.

From 1994, the UMB tournaments were organized in collaboration with the European member association “Confédération Européenne de Billard” (CEB). Since 2004, the World-Cup has been organized as UMB/CEB (in Europe), UMB/CPB (in America), UMB/(in Amerika), UMB/ACBC World-Cup (in Asia), and since 2014, as UMB/ACC in Africa. The prize money amounts to approximately 35,000 € per tournament. The prize money has been €106,500 per tournament since 2018.

All detailed results are listed on the german Three-Cushion World Cup page.

The individual results of the World Cup 1997/1 were lost directly following the tournament and, up to now, have been unable to be reconstructed, even through research by the well-known billiards archivists Heinrich Weingartner and Dieter Haase (both editors of the three-volume "Encyclopedia of Billiards Sports").

In 2012, only three tournaments were held for the overall winner appointment, instead of the required four, thus the year remains the first year without a title award.[1] On 26 January 2013 it was announced that the Greek shipping magnate, Thanos Athanasiou, until 1995 a player himself, would finance a total of five tournaments in the coming three years. These include the three World-Cup tournaments until 2015, as well as the Junior World Championships in 2013 and the Women's World-Cup in 2014. All tournaments will be played in Athens.[2]

Media Report Transmission edit

Until the 2019/20 season, the French billiards portal Kozoom broadcast all UMB tournaments on the Internet and some of them were also taken over by the national broadcasters that hosted them. From the 2021/22 season, this task will be taken over by the Korean partner of Kozoom Five&Six.

Modus edit

Initially, the game was played in a set system of up to 15 points, with two winning sets to be completed in the qualification and then three winning sets in the final round. In 2013 they switched to the points system, with up to 30 points being played in the qualification and up to 40 points in the final round. At the change of season in 2019, the first final round will also be held as a group round (8 ×) of 4 players each.

Records edit

  • Torbjörn Blomdahl is record winner with 46 single and 11 total victories.
  • The best general average (GA) was achieved by Daniel Sánchez with 2,777 points (1. April 2017 in Luxor). This is a new official world record.
  • The best single average (SA) was achieved by Semih Sayginer in the match against Dick Jaspers in La Baule (27. Oktober 2018) with 6,666 points (40 points in 6 runs).
  • The highest run in World Cup tournaments has been 26 points since May 25, 2023, set by Torbjörn Blomdahl in the match against Dion Nelin at the World Cup tournament in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
  • One set, 15 points, in one run in a World-Cup tournament (which until 2012 was also the highest series) was achieved so far by:

Tournament records timeline edit

With the set system, the best individual average (SA) is only counted in the game with 3 winning sets. This also applies to the GA, where at least five games must be played. Since the maximum streak of 15 points was achieved a total of 42 times in the days of the set system, players who have reached this number of points several times are only mentioned with their first streak. The numbers in brackets indicate the frequency.

10 The best Worldcup Players by Ranking Points 11 Notes 12 References History edit The World Cup was founded in 1985 by German Werner Bayer a carom billiards enthusiast and patron He called the association Billiards World Cup Association BWA and in 1986 the first tournament was held in Paris As a patron he had excellent contact to sponsors and quickly the tournament grew into a popular meeting place for players and spectators At the time the World Cup had one of the highest monetary prizes Between 1986 and 1989 the prize money per tournament was approximately 100 000 160 DM with the winner receiving 50 000 160 DM The BWA organized the World Cup along with the world governing body the Union Mondiale de Billard UMB Between 1988 and 1993 the UMB no longer hosted any world championships themselves therefore for four years the BWA World Cup became the default world championship In 1994 there were disagreements between the two associations The UMB thus blocked players including players wives referees and organizers who took part in the World Cup from participating in the tournaments of the UMB and CEB Confederation Europeenne de Billard Thus between 1994 and 1997 there were two parallel World Cup championships The BWA as usual played for 3rd place the only exception was the tournament 1997 7 whereas the UMB did not and therefore had two 3rd place finishers With few exceptions since the acquisition of the tournament in 1999 this is the rule up to now After settling the disputes the UMB and the BWA led the tournament together until early 1999 Berlin Cup After 1999 Mr Bayer withdrew from the BWA for health reasons and the UMB took over the organization of the tournament series from then on and the BWA broke up due to succession problems From 1994 the UMB tournaments were organized in collaboration with the European member association Confederation Europeenne de Billard CEB Since 2004 the World Cup has been organized as UMB CEB in Europe UMB CPB in America UMB in Amerika UMB ACBC World Cup in Asia and since 2014 as UMB ACC in Africa The prize money amounts to approximately 35 000 160 per tournament The prize money has been 106 500 per tournament since 2018 All detailed results are listed on the german Three Cushion World Cup page The individual results of the World Cup 1997 1 were lost directly following the tournament and up to now have been unable to be reconstructed even through research by the well known billiards archivists Heinrich Weingartner and Dieter Haase both editors of the three volume Encyclopedia of Billiards Sports In 2012 only three tournaments were held for the overall winner appointment instead of the required four thus the year remains the first year without a title award 91 1 93 On 26 January 2013 it was announced that the Greek shipping magnate Thanos Athanasiou until 1995 a player himself would finance a total of five tournaments in the coming three years These include the three World Cup tournaments until 2015 as well as the Junior World Championships in 2013 and the Women s World Cup in 2014 All tournaments will be played in Athens 91 2 93 Media Report Transmission edit Until the 2019 20 season the French billiards portal Kozoom broadcast all UMB tournaments on the Internet and some of them were also taken over by the national broadcasters that hosted them From the 2021 22 season this task will be taken over by the Korean partner of Kozoom Five amp Six Modus edit Initially the game was played in a set system of up to 15 points with two winning sets to be completed in the qualification and then three winning sets in the final round In 2013 they switched to the points system with up to 30 points being played in the qualification and up to 40 points in the final round At the change of season in 2019 the first final round will also be held as a group round 8 of 4 players each Records edit Torbjorn Blomdahl is record winner with 46 single and 11 total victories The best general average GA was achieved by Daniel Sanchez with 2 777 points 1 April 2017 in Luxor This is a new official world record The best single average SA was achieved by Semih Sayginer in the match against
