The three- cushion world cup 1997/5 was the fourth UMB world cup tournament in the twelfth year of the three-cushion world cup. The tournament took place from June 16 to 22, 1997 in this discipline of carom billiards in Herne , North Rhine-Westphalia . It was the third German city after Berlin and Halle (Saale) to host a three-cushion World Cup tournament.
history
With his second World Cup victory in 1997 after Seoul, Christian Rudolph secured the overall World Cup victory of the year. He proved his nerves in the final when he was able to turn a 2-0 set deficit against Eddy Leppens into a 3-2 win. The tournament in Herne was at a high level. Stefan Galla , who celebrated his best World Cup year, played the best tournament average with 1.663 . Daniel Sánchez was even better with 1.812 and Yilmaz Özcan with 1.786. Since the two have only played two games, the value does not count as an official best. Third place went to the Luxembourg multiple world champion in various disciplines Fonsy Grethen and the Belgian Peter de Backer.
The exact price money could not be determined from the documents.
Tournament mode
In the qualifying round in groups, two sets of 15 points each are played in round robin mode. The group winners qualify for the 1/16 finals. There are also 16 seeded players. From the main competition (1/16 final), all games are played on three sets of 15 points each. Third place has not been played since the 1996/97 season. This means that there is no game for third place and there are two third-placed players.
In the event of a tie, the following order will be applied:
MP = match points
SV = rate ratio
GD = general average
HS = maximum series

The three-cushion World Cup was organized by the founding association, the "
Billiards Worldcup Association " (BWA) until 1998 . Disputes between the BWA and the world association
Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) led to parallel tournaments between 1994 and 1997. The UMB / BWA organized the tournament together until the beginning of 1999. Since the dissolution of the BWA in 1999, the UMB has been the sole organizer.
From 1988-1991 the UMB did not host any world championships. During this time, the annual overall winner of the World Cup was crowned world champion.
