Why do you, insist on promoting training for the US players outside of our country? Equal and fair requirements are needed. If you want the potential US prospects to travel to Europe for a training session, is the Europe potential team required to go to the US? No they are not. Your ignorance for where the problem lies is the issue.
European players are now leading the way with experience and skills due to the hugely successful EuroTour. Where is the US equivalent? Stop this nonsense of paying for potential US players to go to Europe. Use that money to promote and host better quality tournaments in the US. Get engaged with the community, not your current ‘I’m above you all’ stance.
First of all, the entire programme for the US team is the responsibility of the captain, Johan Ruijsink, as he is the one charged with getting a result in December.
What the European team do in preparation for the event doesn't appear to be the issue on the basis that they win the Mosconi Cup each year with what seems to be a minimum of effort.
I'm not sure the budget for training expenses would cover much of a tournament, but that said tournaments like the World Series in the USA, which on the face of it fit the bill, just aren't attended by American players in any great numbers.
Most of the MC training is inside the USA. There is an expenses paid trip to Russia to compete in a major international tournament against players from Europe and the rest of the world, which I would assume is a good thing, and then a training camp in Holland where pool is treated as a sport, which again I would hope would also be a good thing for the team.
Whilst we have a vested interest in the Mosconi Cup, we aren't responsible for the overall fortunes of American pool, although we have shown some commitment by taking over the US Open.
