The three-cushion world championship in 1986 was the 41st tournament in this discipline of carom billiards and took place from May 15 to 18, 1986 in Las Vegas . It was the third three-cushion World Championship in Las Vegas.

history

Raymond Ceulemans in the shape of his life. With 1.745 he set a sensational world record in the general average ( GD) and with 2.631 a new world record in the best individual average (BED). He only lost one game and ended up in third place. The reason was the semi-final game against Avelino Rico from Spain. Ceulemans dominated the game from the start and led accordingly with 47:27 and later with 48:35 in the 38th recording. Then Rico came to the table and ended the game with a series of 15 points, some of them lucky. Since Ceulemans had no follow-up, the final was missed. Nevertheless, Rico was the deserved winner as he also defeated Torbjörn Blomdahl after his clear lead (meanwhile with 40:24) with 50:46 in 43 shots in the final . For the first time, the future world champion Marco Zanetti took part in a three-cushion World Cup. He was the first Italian to do this. In the end, Zanetti finished fourth. The tournament was very unfortunate for the two-time world champion Nobuaki Kobayashi . Despite all the best performances in group B, he only came in third. So he had to be content with the game for fifth place, which he also achieved.

mode

The game was played in the group stage, two groups of seven players each, “everyone against everyone” with 50 points. The first two of the group made it to the semi-finals. The semi-final winners were in the final. Places 5 to 14 were played out.
