The 1st Ladies World Masters 1999 was a forerunner tournament to the Women's World Cup in the three- cushion carom discipline and took place from June 10th to 12th in Heemstede , Netherlands .

history

The organization of World Challenge tournaments and world championships for the juniors also had a positive effect on the women's pool. The so-called "Ladies Tour" was set up in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Spain and the Netherlands had a professionally run ladies team in the general league. A first impetus towards the three-cushion world championship for women was the "Ladies World Masters", followed by the "World Challenge Cup Ladies" in 2002, before the first official women’s world championship organized by the Union Mondiale de Billard (UMB) took place in 2004 . In the previous tournaments, a fixed point distance was played, which was then initially given up in favor of a system at the world championships.

Since it was not yet a ranking tournament, but an invitation tournament, an entry fee of Hfl 500 / NLG (1 NLG = € 0.45; approx. € 225) was charged. The winner received NLG 4,000 and for each record there was NLG 1,000. The third place received NLG 1,500. The organizers raised around NLG 100,000 for the tournament. According to their statement, the prize money should double over the next three years. In addition, the national associations are to be more closely involved in the organization, so that ultimately one can move from an invitation tournament to a “real” world championship tournament.

The Japanese Orie Hida was already a three- cushion professional in her home country at the time, and she was expected to have high chances of winning. She is the daughter of Kazumi Hida, also a professional three-cushion player and Japanese champion. The US-American Jennifer Shim and the German-Turkish Gülşen Degener were also expected to have good chances for the final round, but both disappointed and were eliminated in the group stage with only one victory each. The two group leaders Hida and Gerrie Geelen from the Netherlands were the only ones who achieved an individual average (ED) of 1+ in the tournament, the Japanese even with 1.785 an average that was in no way inferior to the men's world. Both then faced each other in the final that Hida could win with 30:23. She was the first "pre-world champion" in three cushion.

mode

In the preliminary round, the game was played in two groups of four players each in round robin mode to 25 points with no admission limit. The first two of the group moved into the semi-finals, where the knockout system played to 30 points.
