The three- cushion world cup 2013/1 was the first UMB / CEB world cup tournament in the 27th year of the three-cushion world cup. It took place from February 11th to 17th, 2013 in the "Hotel Limak Limra". For the fourth time after 2009/2 , 2010/1 2012/1 , Antalya , Turkey was the host location.
history
Since only three tournaments were played in 2012, but according to the statutes, four are required to choose an overall winner, there is no official defending champion in 2013.
qualification
As in the previous tournament in Hurghada , Therese Klompenhouwer from the Netherlands , second in the 2006 Women's World Cup, was one of the few women to take part in the tournament. She started in qualifying round 3 in Group E against Javier Teran from Ecuador and the Turks Hayri Akgun. All of them won a game. Despite being equal in points, she came in third because of the worst general average (GD). The Berlin Johann Schirmbrand (team world champion from 1997) was able to move into round 2, but had to give way to the Turkish Birol Uymaz. Ronny Lindemann from Witten fought his way through to the final qualifying round, but finished last in the group. Only Christian Rudolph and Martin Horn were represented as German players. The Austrian Arnim Kahofer had lost his first game against Hang Hyung-bum from Korea and only played a draw against Eddy Leppens . That was not enough for the main round. The game between the two Turks Murat Tüzül and Lütfi Çenet resulted in an exciting encounter . After 24 shots it was 33:39, Çenet had match point, which he missed. Tüzül as the game starter had to create 7 points. At the 6th point he scored an incredible “fox” . Ball 1 hit ball 2, after 2 boards there was a counterattack with ball 2, it touched ball 3 and pushed it into the previously deflected run of ball 1. Then he also made the required 7th point. Now it was Çenet's turn with the second push. Since it was the opening shot, it was almost impossible to miss, and after 26 shots it came to a draw. That was not enough for Çenet to advance. Tüzül had the better GD and was the first to qualify for the finals. Çenet made it to the finals as one of the four best runner-ups. Martin Horn also had to worry about making it into the final round in his last group game against Spaniard Javier Palazón , when he went into the follow-up with 6 points behind. A draw would not have been enough for the Essenes because Palazon had the better GD. However, the Spaniard only got 2 points and Horn was through. Thanks to his GD, however, Palazon was able to make it into the round of the last 32. Rudolph from Cologne fared worse. He also lost his second game against the Dutchman Dave Christiani and was eliminated from the bottom of the group. The best game of the qualifying round was made by Korean Hwang Durk-hee against Martin Olesen from Denmark in just 14 shots. This gave him an individual average (ED) of 2.857 with a maximum series (HS) of 12. The best HS, however, was played by Roland Forthomme from Belgium with 14 points against Javier Teran in 17 shots.
Final round
The Turkish wildcard player Ahmet Alp provided the first surprise of round 1. He beat world number one Frédéric Caudron with 40:32, standing at number 75 . Caudron finished penultimate in the finals with a GD of 0.941 - his worst result in a long time. Marco Zanetti from Italy defeated the Korean Hang Deuk-hee in just 12 shots with 40:16 and thus had the best ED of 3.333 and the second best HS of 13. World champion Eddy Merckx had no problems with his Japanese opponent O Takeshima . After only two shots he was leading 17: 3, at the break he had 24 points on his account. In the 23rd shot he turned his match point. Takeshima was able to play his best HS of 5 to the final score of 40:16. After a head-to-head race between the Turkish Savas Bulut and Sameh Sidhom from Egypt there was a penalty shootout, which Bulut won 2-1 to the delight of the local crowd. Unfortunately, the Internet TV broadcaster Kozoom had server failures in the final phase and during the penalty, so that many live viewers were unable to experience this exciting phase. The error was only corrected with Sidhom's last ball. In the round of 16 Eddy Merckx once again proved his world class and knocked off local hero Murat Naci Çoklu in just 7 shots with 40:12. He was able to beat the tournament record in the HS of 16 set by Frenchman Jérémy Bury by one point. His ED in that game was 5,741, which was the new official world record. After Bury had fallen behind in his game against Horn, he succeeded through a lucky counterattack ("Fuchs") the entry into a series of 16, in which another "Fuchs" enabled him to continue playing. Horn did not find his way back into the game and was eliminated. In the purely Spanish game between ex-world champion Daniel Sánchez and Palazón, the latter was the only second-place qualifier to make it to the quarter-finals. There Dick Jaspers prevailed against Adnan Yüksel in only 13 shots and with an ED of 3.076. Merckx knocked out Bulut Savas, the host nation's last remaining player, in 18 shots and with an ED of 2.222. In the final, the new world number one Torbjörn Blomdahl from Sweden defeated French Jérémy Bury with 40:29 and won his 41st World Cup title. Dick Jaspers improved the general average world record to 2.465 , beating Caudron's 2011 record by 0.065. Last was the Japanese O Takeshima , who, like Caudron, had played well below his level of performance.

Tournament mode
A lot has changed in the tournament mode since 2013.
- The sentence system was abolished because the dullness was not calculable. Matches could last between three and five sets. Good timing was therefore not possible.
- The game distances were set at 30 points in the per-qualification rounds and 40 points in the main qualification and in the knockout games. A tie is possible in the qualifying rounds. In the knockout round, overtime is played in the event of a tie. Each of the two players starts with the initial push. Whoever scores more points wins the match. If there is also a tie in extra time, the kick starts again until a winner is determined.
- The shot clock was shortened to 40 seconds.
- There are only two wildcards for the organizer and one each for three of the four associations CPB , ACBC , CEB and ACC in which the World Cup does not take place.
Four qualifying rounds are played. From the last qualifying round, the 12 group winners and the four best runners-up qualified for the final round. The main tournament is played with 32 participants.
In the event of a tie, the following order will be applied:
- MP = match points
- GD = general average
- HS = maximum series
Seeded players and wild cards
The first 12 players in the world rankings and the wildcard players automatically took part as players in the tournament in the knockout round. The first four of the world rankings are placed in positions 1, 16, 8 and 9.

In the event of a tie, the better GD applies .
