What idea's do any of you have for picking the American team? I've put down an idea that I had. It will be interesting to see what Match Sports does for next years team.
Take the top 10 point finishers from the qualifying cup points events. After the US Open, have a Mosconi cup style event using the top 10 players to create 2 teams. One team will have seeds 1, 3, 5, 10 and 7 the other team seeds 2,4,6,8 and 9. Have them compete with one another in a similar format as the Mosconi cup. Everyone plays a team, singles, and double match. Winning players get a point, winning team gets a point, and winning doubles partners each get a point. The team that wins the competition gets an additional point. The top 4 will make the team with one Captains pick. You earn your way into the competition and those that cope the best will make the team.
