The three- cushion world cup 1996/7 was the third BWA world cup tournament in the eleventh year of the three-cushion world cup. The tournament took place from 5th to 8th December 1996 in this discipline of carom billiards in Antwerp . It was the thirteenth three-cushion World Cup tournament in Belgium.

history

Torbjörn Blomdahl , who started the BWA World Cup year on average , won his first World Cup tournament in Antwerp in 1996 and his 21st overall. In the round of 16 against the Dutchman Bert van Manen, however, he only narrowly prevailed with 3-2 sets. After a relatively smooth win against Belgium Paul Stroobants, it was extremely close in the semi-finals against the American Sang Chun Lee . Lee won the first two sets. But then the Swede switched on the turbo and won sets three to five in a total of 21 shots. The final against Semih Saygıner turned out to be a clear affair with 3: 1 sets. Former champion Raymond Ceulemans was able to secure a place on the podium with third place. The tournament went optimally for Blomdahl, as his opponents took each other's points for the overall World Cup victory. With his victory he took the lead again in this ranking.

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.
