history
The second World Cup tournament that was only organized by the UMB and the CEB took place in a sports hall in Byron, a suburb of Athens. But the atmosphere in the hall was not World Cup-worthy. The same applied to the international transmission of results. The winner of the tournament was Semih Saygıner from Turkey , the current three-cushion world champion and billiards player of the year 2003 chosen in Antwerp . Only in the final against Frédéric Caudron did he have to give up two sets. The remaining games clearly went in his favor. Third place went to the world leader, Torbjörn Blomdahl, and the Belgian Eddy Merckx, who is getting better and better . Unfortunately no results of the qualification are known.

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.
