The three- cushion world cup 1987/4 was the 4th world cup tournament in the second year of the three- cushion world cup. It took place from 11th to 13th December 1987 in this discipline of carom billiards in Valkenburg (South Holland) .

history

For the Swede Torbjörn Blomdahl there was the second World Cup victory in Valkenburg in 1987. The 25-year-old won against the Italian Marco Zanetti of the same age in the final with 3-1 sets. The result was not enough for the overall World Cup victory. With a hard-fought 3-2 win over Jean Bessems in the round of 16, Raymond Ceulemans secured this title for the second time. Ceulemans was already leading 2-0 sets and only won in the fifth set with 15:13 in 14 shots. He was also the first player to top the new world rankings introduced on November 30, 1987. The first eleven places in the world rankings were set for the World Cup. Another new feature this season was a qualifying tournament in Spa, Belgium. At this Grand Prix tournament, the 12th seeded player was played for the World Cup. The winner was the Belgian Laurent Boulanger . However, since the BWA statutes allow a maximum of two players from one country to be on the seeding list, the Spaniard Avelino Rico secured this place in second place. As the winner, Boulanger was allowed to participate in Valkenburg as an unseeded player.
