3. Here the players have to solve 4 figures from the tournament director. The players haven´t seen this figures before. The order in which the players come to table was drawed every figure. Each player had 4 tries - one for training and 3 counting tries.
The 5th figure of this section every player may try ... or not. If a player don´t play - he gets no points of course, but every try (up to 8 tries) the player have to buy. It costs 3 points of his actual score. So players who are almost secured takes less tries (Reverchon and Cuadrado did not play, Kohler takes 2 tries). The players on the end of the scoreboard of course tried everything - Viglianesi, Torres and Van Rhee buyed 8 tries which costs them 24 points each...

now the figures:

Fig.1

7pts

This figure is a follow-drawshot over 3 cushions. There were 2 difficulties. At first the kiss ball1-ball2 at the area of the pin, at second the third cushion. The red ball was free from the short cushion - only half a ball, and the third cushion have to be the short one.
There´s a lot of luck necessary - only Viglianesi made this figure once.
 

Fig.2

8 pts

Fig.3

9 pts

Fig. 4

10 pts

Fig. 5

20 pts
(2 balls inside)

4 pts
(one ball inside)

Ball 2 is on the 2nd diamond in the middle of the table, ball one direction corner. The sense is to play both balls into the tunnel (a box with round opening), the opening there was 2mm more than a ball.
Before you try: this figure is played on new cloth, the difficulty was to shorten ball 2.
Viglianesi tried 8times (-24pts) and gets one ball inside 4times (+12pts)...no good deal.
Massey got one ball inside 2times, Rojas and Kohler one times. Van Rhee was the only one who got both balls inside once - in his first try - no score.
