I know people like to knock these tournaments because they are on 7 footers, but that is the size of table 8 ball should be played on.

I really like these tournaments- fun to see pros play bar table 8 ball- they have to negotiate breakouts. The shot clock is great too- keeps the matches moving along.

Ultimate Pool deserves compliments!

My wife and I watched every shot of the 2023 MC and enjoyed it so much we went to see 2024 live in Florida. We even got VIP one day... As soon as it was over she said "let's go to London in 2025". So to answer your question, we love MC and have lost both times. She does not like watching any other pool events. I have been shooting on and off for 40 years and before 2023, I had never heard of the Mosconi Cup.

That is a great story. You stated she doesn't like watching any other pool event. Can you explain why she likes Mosconi Cup? I have a feeling I know but want to hear from you. Also, is your wife a player at all?

Interested if it 5/16x14

Looks like pro pool is doing well.

It's pool rooms that are lagging.

In LA there is an action depression..........

There are less and less rooms to play in........

If we look at the 23 matches in the last 10 years, Shanes effective opponent rating is 832, and he would be expected to be a slight favorite overall. In those matches he won 79 games and lost 93. That's the expected performance of a player rated 808.

...still a better speed than any other American they could put on the team...

Regarding SVB: I agree that he doesn't do well at Mosconi, but WHO would be put in his place? There is no one that would make the team better. It's not like Europe and Asia where you have a line out the door of players that can win.

Which brings us back to the why. Why can't the US generate world class players at the same rate as other countries? (not looking for answers, we've hashed this out many times)

Looks like many of the same and really good usual suspects - I'm getting a chuckle out of some of the guys that apparently want their nickname as part of the official entry but not in a bad way, lol. Still, if you have to tell them your nickname . . . but maybe it's a thing and more power to 'em!

Yes, but I have no idea what you look like, while I'm the guy who looks just like the picture in my avatar. You'll have to find me.

Yup, I've got four different seats for the four days. I think I'm in VIP seating for two of the four days.

If you'll be there, by all means say hi.
