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. 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.
In the event of a tie, the following order will be applied:
- MP = match points
- GD = general average
- HS = maximum series

Tournament commentary
This was preceded by the last World Cup (WC) of the year, in which Frédéric Caudron and Dick Jaspers were the overall winner (249: 232 points), the Junior World Cup . The five tables in hall one were already well-rehearsed, but the boards were re-covered before the start of the World Cup tournament, so the players did not have to fight, as usual, with balls slipping through so hard. In hall two the tables had not yet been used at the start of the World Cup.
Group stage
The newly crowned Junior World Champion Cho Myung-woo from Korea also took part in this WC, as did the dethroned Junior World Championships Kim Tae-kwan and the German Junior Champion Tom Löwe , who was eliminated in the first qualifying round, whereas the two Koreans were sovereign Group first completed. As the best German player, Martin Horn took part in a toilet for the first time after a four-year break . His last international tournament was the Verhoeven Open 2016 last July . Since he lacked the corresponding world ranking points due to the break, he had to start without points in the PPP qualifying round, which, like all other qualifying rounds, he completed victoriously and made it to the final round. Vice Junior World Championships Shin Jung-ju from Korea started in the PP-Q and also finished it as group best. In the following round, however, he was eliminated due to his general average (GD). With the exception of Cho, all juniors were eliminated and the young world champion was in the final round of a World Cup for the second time in his career, after Guri in 2016. Horn had to admit defeat in his last group game to the four-time junior world champion and former club colleague from Horster Eck Kim Haeng-jik , but still made it to the final round as a "lucky loser". Kim's group victory was half free because his partner for the second game, the Czech Ivo Gazdos, came too late to his match and the Korean thus received 2 match points. The Dane Tonny Carlsen, a long-time guest in Hurghada, when his only toilet appearance at the same time, made his game against the Turkish Çan Çapac with 30 points in 8 shots (3.750) for the best individual average (ED) to date . The best GD of this round, however, went to the Dutchman Dave Christiani with 2,400. One of the few women in the tournament was world champion Therese Klompenhouwer , who was still the best in the group in her first round, but then failed against Eddy Leppens shortly before the final round and was eliminated as second in the group. But she is sure to have 5 world ranking points. The American Pedro Piedrabuena also got into the final round due to the absence of his Dutch opponent Christiani, who also started his game too late, although he had lost against Park Klang-yeol with 30:40. A big surprise came in group G where Choi Sung-won from Korea, world champion of 2014, had to admit defeat to his compatriot Kim Jae-guen and the Spaniard David Martinez and retired with zero points. In Group H there was no clear winner. Adnan Yüksel was first placed in the run-up , but lost his game against the Korean Hang Hyung-bum. He in turn had lost the first game against the Greek Konstantins Kokkoris. In the end, the Greek got through because of the better GD, although he lost again to Yüksel. The also favored Nguyễn Quốc Nguyện from Group I was bottom of the group and did not make it into the main round. The Turk Ahmet Alp had played his way into the last qualifying round from the preliminary rounds and advanced due to the best GD. In Group J, the young German talent Dustin Jäschke had no chance against the Asians Lee Choong-bok (Korea) and Ma minn Cam (Vietnam). If he had held up well in the previous rounds, this time he did not win and was eliminated. The Turkish Alstar Semih Saygıner got away with a black eye again, he had lost his game against the Spaniard Javier Palazón , three-time junior world champion, clearly 21:40, but had in the first group game against his countryman Birol Uymaz with the ED of 2.222 a cushion and progressed with the best GD in group K because all the other players each lost a game. Eddy Leppens was able to bring his two games home victorious, the game against Ihab El Messery from the host country even with the best ED of this round of 3.333 (40 points in 12 admissions).
Final round
The leading player in the World Cup, Frédéric Caudron , was eliminated in his first game against the wildcard player nominated in the main draw, the Korean Kim Hyung-kon, 36:40. Since Dick Jaspers won his game against Carlsen in second place, the chances were good that he could outdo the Belgian with another win and become the overall winner. The reigning junior world champion Cho Myung-woo had fought his way through all four qualifying rounds well and strongly, but then he had no chance against his compatriot and LG Masters winner 2015 Kang Dong-koong . In the game between Roland Forthomme and Heo Jung-han , the Belgian finished the game 40:33 in 32 shots. Heo still had the second kick and equalized with 7 points. In the penalty Forthomme started with 0 points. One point was enough for Heo to win. The clear defeat of Eddy Leppens against the Turk Ahmet Alp was a surprise . Martin Horn had few problems with his ex-team-mate Nikos Polychronopoulos and won with 40:23. Record junior world champion Kim Haeng-jik had to go into extra time against Lütfi Çenet from Turkey and won 2-1. Torbjörn Blomdahl showed a strong performance against Semih Saygıner . There were many surprises in the round of 16. Here Kang Dong-koong, Marco Zanetti , Eddy Merckx and Blomdahl were eliminated. The game Jérémy Bury against Martin Horn started very mixed. At 19:18, Horn managed a 12 series in the 19th shot. In the 20th recording, he followed up with a series of 8 and finally won with 40:22 in 22 recordings. The quarter-finals started with a win for Heo against Park Kwang-yeol, who had been playing well up until then, and Tran Quyet Chien to win against local hero Sameh Sidhom. In the second round there were two great matches to be admired. Dick Jaspers defeated world champion Daniel Sánchez 40:27 in 15 shots. Kim Haeng-jik was waiting for Martin Horn, who inflicted the only defeat on him in qualifying. But this time Horn played very well from the start. He started with eight points and followed up with 12 points in the fifth shot. So it went into the break with 22: 2. In the end, Horn won with 40:19 in 18 shots. The first semi-final started with a sure win for Heo. In the second semifinals, Martin Horn got a revenge for his defeat at the Verhoeven Open in New York against Dick Jaspers. Horn made a strong start again and led 10: 2 after two recordings, where he got out with a slight mistake. Jaspers countered another slight mistake with a series of 9 and went into the break with 21:11. Horn didn't find his way to his game and Jaspers finally won with 40:26 in 22 shots. In the final, the Korean Heo, number 10 in the Korean ranking, showed his skills. He solved the most difficult positions and deservedly won with 40:29 in 18 shots. It was his first World Cup victory. Jaspers was able to console himself by winning the overall World Cup in 2016 and is playing in Antwerp in March 2017 at the World Super Cup & Player of the Year for the last prize money of 2016.
