The Mosconi Cup 2016 DAY 1 matches announced!

To me, Europe made an error in putting Appleton up in the singles on day one. If the US somehow gets a lead in the contest, you don't want to lose with your best players not ever playing singles. Not being rude to Appleton, but he is not the best player or the second best player on Europe - not this year. As SJM said, singles matches are the key to Europe's victory.

Dechaine I believe will have to play two double matches on day 2 - that will be more telling than his singles match today. He needs to get into being on the team for the US to have any chance to win.
 
How long do they play each day?

Anybody know an approximate time for how long they will play today? I get home from work around 4:00pm EST. I thought I read somewhere it starts around 1:30pm.

Thanks!

The sessions typically take around 4.5-5.5 hrs. Starts at 1:30pm eastern (although I feel like matches don't start til 2) Approx an hour per match. ESPN3 will have it in their replay section typically a few hours after it is finished so maybe 7pm eastern. I know 2 years ago, I stayed off here during the day and would watch it after work in its entirety. Also genipool uploads matches to YouTube and they are typically up by the night of the match as well.

Thank you!
 
The US team has a lot of talent- particularly SVB, Morris, and Bergman. Dechaine is very talented too but hasn't played well in the MC in the past. Woodward can really play too. They definitely have a chance- but they can probably only afford for one guy to play poorly.

interresting line up for day 1! guess they put jayson into the doubles to get used to the stage first and with daz the right partner for sure........ daz is the key me thinks, if he catches a gear we win it easily!
for today i think we win the team......first doubles could get very close, but i also see the edge for europe, albin and mark are rrrrrrrrocksolid and no matter how good shane will perform, i see rodney making the one or two keymistakes there......first singles also should be europes (we all know niels mosconi numbers), tho i think a upset is possible here.......2nd doubles will be the clearest euro win tonight, jayson is red hot and they will cruise to the win......and last singles is hard to say, daz is a questionmark but recently he owned shane who still has to have a good run at mosconi!
so i see a range from 3 2 europe to a very dark day for team USA which could end the cup already on day 1! lets hope for a 3 2 and a great event!
