The Cadre-71/2 World Cup 1931 was the second Cadre 71/2 World Championship. The tournament took place in Paris from June 18 to 23, 1931 . It was the second Cadre 71/2 World Championship in France.

history

The Egyptian Edmond Soussa confidently defended his world championship title won last year in Paris. The performances of the actors were not very good this year either. In the German billiard newspaper it was even written that this cadre game is too difficult. The author reported that there is only one real world championship anyway and that in Cadre 45/2. The participating players were not of this opinion.

Tournament mode

It was played in the elimination round and in the final round in the round robin system up to 300 points. The top four in each group qualified for the finals. The points against the eliminated participants were not carried over to the final round. In the event of a tie in the MPs, the following order is taken:
