The pre-qualification in Las Vegas began with 44 groups of three players. This is a record number of participants in World Cup tournaments. The performances in Las Vegas were also record breaking. The Spaniard Daniel Sánchez missed the average world record, set by Dick Jaspers in Hooglede in 1998, with 2,296 very narrowly. As the sixth player in World Cup history, the Dutchman Raimond Burgman was able to finish a sentence in one shot. With his fifth World Cup victory, the American Sang Chun Lee crowned himself at his home World Cup with a 3-2 set win against third-placed Semih Saygıner from Turkey, who took over the World Cup lead in 1999.
The exact price money could not be determined from the documents.

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.
