The three-cushion world championship in 1986 was the 42nd tournament in this discipline of carom billiards and took place from March 31 to April 5, 1987 in Cairo . The World Cup was originally supposed to take place in Tokyo. Tokyo canceled at short notice and Cairo stepped in. It was the fourth three-cushion World Cup in Cairo.

history

The world championship started with ten participants. The Austrian Franz Stenzel had to give up after three games due to illness. The games he played were removed from the rating. Torbjörn Blomdahl made up for the first three-cushion World Championship title in Las Vegas that was just missed in Cairo. He suffered only one defeat against the Mexican Arturo Bone, who won the first World Cup medal for Mexico. The American Frank Torres came in second. The world championship was overshadowed by the conflict between the UMB and the Billiards Worldcup Association (BWA). Many top players had switched to the BWA and thus not admitted to the World Cup. Those under contract with BWA included top players Raymond Ceulemans , Marco Zanetti , Ludo Dielis and Nobuaki Kobayashi . It should be the last World Cup for the next few years. From the following season, the world champion was determined by a World Cup series of the BWA.

Although the Egyptians managed to organize a World Cup in the short time after Tokyo was canceled, the players were not quite as satisfied with the game material. A local carpenter was in a hurry not being too strict about the gangs. Some of these had a height difference of 4 mm. So the players had to rely more on their instincts than on their controlled play.

“Everyone against everyone” was played with 50 points.
