Valid points... but Matchroom needs to announce the system for which the team will be constructed, either with points events or a captains own system for which a pool of players needs to be selected and announced... but that should start with the captains selection.... are we lucky enough to to have johan and Jeremy back? That would be great! But the team itself should not be the same team.... all Americans need an opportunity to represent should they be playing at the top 5 rotation level in the country...I’m sure SVB and Woodward are virtual locks.... but i also see Justin Bergman as a lock as well and if so that means one of Thorpe, Styer and Deuel would be out. Also love John Schmidt’s game and he is playing a lot and played superb in his last Mosconi Cup appearance. Love Oscars gambling all the top players in the world to prove himself... and he has. A short race is more about handling pressure than anything else and i think Oscar can.
Also love Earl for the team still... He simply stands up to the pressure as good as anyone on earth still, even at his age. I see a short race perfect for him... that plus his shotmaking under the biggest stage and even his passion, all pluses.
Also if time is put in from Hatch, Archer, Daulton, Morris, Owen, and Jeremy Jones then they all deserve a CLOSE look. All US Open champions except Daulton who is a multiple Derby city nine ball champion.
Plus all the other great Young players who deserve a chance to play their way on to the team... point being we all need to know how to make the team, especially if Matchroom wants build up... let’s get the process started
