Tournament course

With Frédéric Caudron the best player of the tournament won. In the final against the Dutch ex-world champion Jean Paul de Bruijn , he won with 150: 73 in 14 shots. At that time, Caudron was the reigning world champion in four different pile-up disciplines. For the German defending champion Wolfgang Zenkner the tournament was very unfortunate. In the end he only finished eighth. The Frenchman Johann Petit ensured the best tournament performance: In the second round against the multiple three- cushion world champion Torbjörn Blomdahl , who took part in a single-cushion world championship for the first time, he won 150-17 in just 2 shots. For the second German participant Dieter Steinberger and the Austrian champion Arnim Kahofer the end came after the preliminary round.
