The three- cushion world cup 1998/4 was the third UMB / BWA world cup tournament in the 13th year of the three- cushion world cup. The tournament took place from 20 to 24 May 1998 in this discipline of carom billiards in Hooglede . It was the 16th three-cushion World Cup tournament in Belgium.

history

For the third time in a row, the two dominant players in the three-cushion World Cup, Torbjörn Blomdahl and Dick Jaspers , faced each other in the final. After winning two sets it already looked like another win for Jaspers. But then Blomdahl once again showed his irrepressible will to win. After 15:10 in the third and 15:12 in the fourth set, he won the fifth set 15-0 in two shots. It was his 25th individual victory in the 77th World Cup. Dick Jaspers improved Torbjörn Blomdahl's average world record, set in Istanbul in 1995, from 2.308 to 2.314 . Frédéric Caudron and Christian Rudolph finished third together .

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents.

Tournaments of the three-cushion world cup
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.
