New York, NY. USA - For five consecutive years, the best players in the world will be showcasing the most prestigious 3-Cushion billiard tournament in the American Continent. This event is the equivalent to World Cup Events previously held by the World Cup Association and now under the auspices of the Union Mundiale de Billard. Carom Cafe, located in Flushing, New York is the organizer of this magnanimus event.

The tournament is dedicated to the best U.S. 3-Cushion player of modern times, Mr. Sang Chun Lee, who established an all time record wining the U.S. Championship 11 consecutive years. A native of South Korea who emigrated to the United States in 1987 became the first American to win the World Championship in the past 40 years. On May 15th, he was recently inducted in the Billiard Congress Hall of Fame.
