The 2004 three-cushion world championship took place in Rotterdam ( Netherlands ) from October 6th to 10th . It was the eighth three-cushion World Cup in the Netherlands since 1928. This makes the Netherlands the record host of the three-cushion world championship.

history

The Dutchman Dick Jaspers won his home world championship undefeated and became three-cushion world champion for the second time. In the preliminary round groups, there was a hail of the death of favorites. Four world champions alone could not qualify for the round of 16. What was striking at this World Cup was the strength of the Southeast Europeans. Three Greeks and three Turks placed in the first nine places.

mode

The tournament was played with 48 participants. The whole tournament was played on three sets of 15 points each. Third place was not played out.
