The three- cushion world cup 2016/1 was the first UMB / CEB world cup tournament in the 30th year of the three- cushion world cup. It took place from February 1st to 7th, 2016 in Bursa , Turkey . It was the first three-cushion world cup tournament, a form of carom billiards , in Bursa.

history

For the first time, a world cup tournament took place in the Turkish winter sports resort of Bursa. Eight Turks also made it to the knockout round. With Tayfun Taşdemir only one made it into the quarter-finals. The first round started with two extraordinary games. The world number two Daniel Sánchez lost despite a strong performance to the American Pedro Piedrabuena , who was in 26th place in the ranking. It was also very close for world number three Dick Jaspers . The Turk Lütfi Çenet was already leading with 39:33 and awarded three match points. The game then ended with 40:40 in 18 shots. The first extension then ended with 4: 4. The second extension ended with a 2-1 win for Jaspers. In the quarterfinals, Jaspers then showed the best game of the tournament with his 40:13 victory in just eight shots. Piedrabuena came against Kang Dong-koong with a 7-0 win in extra time for the first time in a semi-final of a world cup tournament. Here he was very closely defeated by the eventual winner with 38:40 in 20 shots. In an even final against Frédéric Caudron , Dick Jaspers secured his 22nd 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 shortened to 40 seconds. Each player can take two extra times per match . This increases the peak time by 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 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.
