For the first time, a free game world championship with 13 participants was held. In the final round, however, only eight players were rated. After finishing fourth and sixth at the previous world championships, the Spaniard Juan Butrón was able to secure the title for the first time. In doing so, he equalized two world records. At his last World Cup in the free game, Edmond Soussa was able to achieve second place again in front of the French Jacques Davin. The 19-year-old Walter Joachim started for Germany for the first time . He finished the tournament in seventh place. His debut at international tournaments gave the Austrians B Ernst Reicher , who later became world and European champions in the cover .
