The three- cushion world cup 2014/5 was the fifth and final UMB / ACC world cup tournament in the 28th year of the three- cushion world cup. It took place from December 7th to 13th, 2014 in Hurghada , Egypt . It was the 150th World Cup tournament since 1986.

history

The Italian Marco Zanetti was the big winner of the World Cup in Hurghada. It was his third victory in this competition after 1990 in Palma de Mallorca and 1999 in Berlin. He had to wait 15 years for this success. Zanetti is the only one of the players who are still regularly playing who was already there at the first World Cup tournament in Paris in 1986. The victory was on the knife edge in the semifinals when he was 32:38 behind the Korean Hwang Hyung-bum. But thanks to his well-known fighter quality, he was able to turn the match in his favor with 40:39 in 30 shots. In the final, which he dominated at all times, he nullified Kang Dong-koong's dream of becoming the first Korean to win a second World Cup. Of the 150 world cup tournaments played so far, Zanetti has competed 130 times.

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 on 40 seconds. There are only two wildcards 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

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.
