Where's is a list of US team and Europe's team?
Based on skill levels, Tyler and Chris are very close, as indicated by their Fargo Ratings of 755 vs 742, respectively.
Therefore, I take it that JJ used some other factor when choosing Chris. Maybe a less tangible factor like team chemistry, or wanting to give a different young player a chance to see how they will perform under those specific conditions and stresses. Giving a new, young player the experience of playing under those conditions will expand the pool of available players to use into the future.

this is so wrong. there have been no tournaments, so none of those players are technically qualified. the only fair thing to do is to scrap the team and instead go with:
- earl strickland
- mike dechaine
- danny harriman
- john schmidt
- dennis hatch
and since i expect the moscow training camp is off the schedule it's only fair they get to settle down in london two weeks ahead of the cup for team building and working on their game. in my experience team building is enhanced by sharing the same room. bunk beds and the like.
zat is mein best advize vor you, meine freunde..
I'd take Styer over any new blood. He was pretty steady.SVB- 37
Thorpe- 24
Sky- 27
Iceberg- 33
Robinson- 22
Avg. Age for Team USA =28.6
Pretty young team. I wonder how it compares historically. Also wonder how Styer is taking it not making the team after the last two years.
I guess Dechaine and Oscar are no longer considered because they don't play full time? I'd take both of them over Styer or Robinson.
Itβs quite sad the available pool of top American Professional Players to choose from for the US team drops off so dramatically after the first three or four. There is no doubt that if Siming Chen was American, she would be on the team.Robinson is #40 on Fargo-Worst choice in USA MC in the last 12 years. Filler can give him the 6 out
Except one huge difference.
Tyler has been there.
