Matchroom have told him he didn't enter enough sanctioned events to be eligible for selection. He was pretty annoyed as he only learned this just before he was going to play his match in the U.S Open. Quite a few players had to play the Philippines Open to be eligible, but Billy had missed so many events didn't even make a difference if he went to the the Philippines or not.That's why they have wildcards.![]()
I'm probably not the best one to ask if you're wanting a technical answer. I think the cloth plays good. I honestly don't know if I could tell the difference between any of the major brands.How was that CPBA cloth to play on? It looked lightning fast on the 9’ on the WNT events.
He didn’t enter enough sanctioned tournaments to be consideredIf I had my pick for the wildcard, it would be Billy Thorpe because he gets along well with the others and brings enthusiasm and excitement to the team.
He's got the experience of playing on the big stage, and I think he can bring it on. He's hitting 'em strong as of late and attending a lot of events.
