Code:
You will need eight. So who are your eight. The first person to name all eight correctly - I will send them a Special Mosconi related gift.
But you will have to be quick! But nothing will be revealed before Matchroom's Official Press Release.
Here is the team!

The 2014 Mosconi Cup SHOULD NOT CONSIST of the same group as last year. There needs to be new faces regardless of the outcome. Recycling Johnny Archer, Earl, Rodney and Dennis Hatch should not be on the table. Shane should be the only American player shooed in. Although we don't have enough quality and quantity to currently field a representative team, plans for the future need to start right now. Hopefully Mark Wilson will take a long hard look at our current crop of players and come up with a long range plan. Expect nothing in 2014 except a game plan for the future.
As a Chicago-team sports fan, I only expect things for Next Year.
Add
Justin hall joey gray chip compton and skykar woodard and I think these are the qualifiers..we will see..
How many guys on your list of 11 can beat Mr. Donny Mills playing rotation pool?
One, possibly two.
I don't even think the majority of them would play him.
Donny is an ideal representative for the Mosconi Cup. An actual 40 hr a week working top flight player. No one else could claim this.

I'd also like to see Donny out there for a couple years on the team. He'd take it seriously
The only way to resolve disagreements,different dissenting opinions etc is to have Selection Trials and make it transparent. The details regards the dates and the place for the trials should appear in LARGER PRINT on ALL the LEADING Billiards Media and also the information should be sent to the Professional Billairds Assosiation atleast 8 weeks prior to the Trials. I will then call it "Transparent& Fair" and the REAL Team USA..
The powers-that-be have chosen a *new* selection criteria for the 2014 Mosconi Cup, which has to do with the utilization of Mark Wilson's expertise.
There has never been a transparent selection process for Mosconi Cup since I've been following it. It is a wildcard-type deal for the promoter. Since Matchroom Sport is paying the dough, they can call the shots, rightfully so.
This year, Matchroom Sport has turned over the Team USA selection criteria to Mark Wilson. Whether we approve of this process or not, the choice totally belongs to Matchroom Sport.
We should all feel fortunate, I guess, that they are still willing to work with the United States for the Mosconi Cup.
That said, though, some of those European pros' hands aren't clean, yet attention seems to be focused on American pros. What's up with that?!
It will be interesting to see who is selected for Team Europe. Will they have dirty hands and yet still be allowed to be a part of the prestigious Mosconi Cup?

That is Matchroom`s tournament and money and I don`t have any problems with whatever rules they have and whom they include in the Team to play against Europe. But do have objection if the hand picked players are called "Team USA".
Team USA should be composed of the players that are ranked in the top 5 in USA..
Hand picked Team should not be called " Team USA" and if they can`t come up with the right name for the handpicked Team, I will be glad to help them finding a very catchy name such as " Wilson`s Soldiers" or something similar.
America will determine what is good for America. A foreign country should not be allowed to determine what is good for America.
Maybe the foreign country will determine that America doesn't need to play in the cup. Johnnyt
Jumpin .This is not my list..I think this is the list Mark Wilson is gonna present..I to think Donny Mills deserves a spot .He plays pool cause he enjoys it..That's what the team needs...Only time will tell..
Team event
The rankings for players is based on results of singles competition.
The Mosconi Cup is a team event, which is something quite different.
