The three- cushion world cup 1992/2 was the 2nd world cup tournament in the seventh year of the three-cushion world cup.

history

Due to the high number of participants, there were several qualifying rounds for the 12 places in the main field. Old master Nobuaki Kobayashi turned out to be the best in qualification and the first two laps in the main draw . In the second round, he also outclassed the defending champion Torbjörn Blomdahl with a brilliant performance. He was only stopped in the quarterfinals by Marco Zanetti and played the best general average (GD) of the tournament. Kobayashi's countryman Jun'ichi Komori was also hit hard in the first round. He lost to the 22-year-old Belgian Roland Forthomme despite a good performance. The player of the tournament was the native Korean with US passport Sang Chun Lee . After a tough fight against Frédéric Caudron in the quarter-finals , he dismantled the two great Belgians Raymond Ceulemans and Ludo Dielis in the semifinals and in the final with 3-0 sets each with two great performances . It was the second World Cup victory for the American.

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents. However, as in all BWA World Cup tournaments, it was at least 100,000 DM.
