The three- cushion world cup 2014/2 was the second UMB / ACC world cup tournament in the 28th year of the three-cushion world cup. It took place from March 23-29, 2014 in Luxor , Egypt . It was the first world cup tournament in the historic Egyptian tourist town of Luxor on the Nile.

history

For the first time a world cup tournament took place in Luxor. The Greeks canceled their World Cup due to the close schedule to the planned World Cup tournament in Greece. Insiders assumed that the Greeks, essentially the IBT Hellas, which held the 2013 tournament in Greece, only found one reason for the cancellation with the date. With the establishment of the African billiards association ACC , the mode for the final qualifying round changed. Since every continental association receives one wildcard per tournament, only the three best runners-up in the group qualify for the main tournament of the best 32.

There were no big surprises in the four qualifying rounds in Luxor. The main round started with a very exciting match between Tayfun Taşdemir and Eddy Leppens . Taşdemir was already leading 34: 5. Leppens fought his way up to 33:38. Taşdemir was able to end the game in the 21st recording. Leppens managed the seven points in the follow-up to a tie. Taşdemir started the extension with ten points. Leppens only got one point and was eliminated. The biggest surprise of the round of 16 is the victory of Jean Paul de Bruijn against his compatriot Dick Jaspers . The two world rankings, Frédéric Caudron and Torbjörn Blomdahl , contested the final . Here Caudron started with a series of 19 points, added three points in the third shot and went into the break with 22: 0 points. This lead was enough to win in 13 shots. It was Caudron's 14th World Cup victory.

Tournament mode

A lot has changed in the tournament mode since 2013. The rate system was abolished because the match time could not be calculated. Matches could last between three and five sets. Good timing was therefore not possible. The game distances were set at 30 points in the pre-qualifying 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 set to 40 seconds wildcards, there are only two for the organizer and one each for the 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 three best runners-up qualify for the final round. The main tournament is played with 32 participants.

In the event of a tie, the following order will be applied:

1. MP = match points
2. GD = general average
3. HS = maximum series

Seeded players and wild cards
