The first three-cushion European championship in a former Eastern Bloc country took place in Prague in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, the organizer of this European Championship was overwhelmed with the tournament organization. Despite many live broadcasts on television, there were always problems with the organization. The tournament was even about to be canceled by the CEB sports director Frans Tusveld. In all this chaos, the Belgian Jozef Philipoom prevailed in the final against the Danish Hans Laursen with 3-0 sets. The defeat in the last sixteen came as a surprise to the Spanish super talent in three cushion Daniel Sánchez . Against the German technology specialist Martin Horn , the two-time junior European champion in three-cushion lost with 0: 3 sets. The tournament's best performances from the Portuguese Mario Ribeiro were not necessarily to be expected before the start of the tournament.
