I'll send you some pics DM later today. I have 12 older Meuccis for sale, most have been professionally refinished, a few have not.

Thanks. Yeah, that's why I don't want to make the one in the opening post again. I was sweating it failing the entire time. Not worth the stress.

You made the ball holders for table 2.
We need them on table 3, 4, and 5 now.
They're great!
You are wonderful for the game.
Admire your energy.

Job well done. Folks that have never 3d printed will never know the frustration of terms like spaghetti defects, z-Axis error, warping, etc. In my shop my students run three bambu X1 carbons pretty much all day everyday...nothing more frustrating to them than having a 12-13 hour print fail after getting half way done!

In fact, more and more of them just go ask if they can just go build it out of wood!

Hearing the commentators talk about your match while you're playing it is brutal!

New balls and new cloth are tough conditions to adjust to as well.

To the top

I think everyone has their ideal team in mind but needs to remember Matchroom does this to make money. The rule that the top three money winners are selected is because they want that talent to show up in tournaments to drive attendance and viewership. Mosconi is a reward since the travel, lodging, and $20k minimum is automatic. There is a realistic probability that the final rankings will be something like Gorst, SVB, Hohmann/Verner as the top three. Even with Johan able to choose, would Matchroom really let him pick someone like Bergman who has played in 1-2 events vs Hohmann/Verner who has played in 10+. This would disincentive future attendance because those players and others realize they will probably never out perform Gorst/SVB and are battling for 1 spot.

Matchroom should continue to provide travel and lodging, but the payout should have a greater difference between winning and losing. The teams will be more incentivized to practice together if the winning team splits $250,000 vs getting nothing.
