The three- cushion world cup 1999/5 was the fifth and last UMB / BWA world cup tournament in the 14th year of the three- cushion world cup. The tournament took place from 7 to 12 December 1999 in this discipline of carom billiards in Oosterhout . It was the eighth three-cushion World Cup tournament in Oosterhout.

history

The last World Cup tournament of the year brought great performances and great excitement. The American Sang Chun Lee would win the overall World Cup for the second time after 1993 if he made it to the final. He also started off convincingly and made it to the semifinals. Here he was a big favorite against the Portuguese Jorge Theriaga. But he showed nerves and was defeated by Theriaga 2: 3 sets. It would have been enough for Lee if Dick Jaspers didn't win the tournament. In the semifinals, Jasper's record world champion Raymond Ceulemans, who had shown great class in this tournament, was waiting . In the first round he eliminated the defending champion Torbjörn Blomdahl and in the round of 16 the very strong Dane Tonny Carlsen. The highlight for Ceulemans then followed in the quarterfinals against his compatriot Eddy Merckx . He started the first set with 15 points and ended the set in one shot, winning a mid-range car worth almost DM 40,000. Ceulemans had no chance against Jaspers in the semifinals. Jaspers played the tournament's best average with 3,000. Surprisingly, it was heavier in the final. After 1: 2 set deficit he was still able to win 3: 2 sets, whereby the fifth set ended very happily for Jaspers with 15:14 because Theriaga could not use three match points. The Dutchman thus secured the title of overall World Cup winner for the second time after 1997.

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