boycott matchroom.. no earl
I love the guy, just don't like it when he attacks someone in the audience
because thy coughed or sneezed or scratched their head. Baseball players
hit 98 mph fastballs with 70k people screaming at them. Football
QB's throw 50 yard passes to a point the size of a 3 foot circle
with the same noise and 5 300 lb. thugs in their face
They don't do second- and third- and fourth-level contact restrictions. If they did, the entire country would be in quarantine forever. If Earl comes down with Covid tomorrow, then there is a problem.
Why punish Matchroom?
It's because he's not vaccinated. If the rest of the team isn't vaccinated, then they would be pulled for exposure

Sky isn't vaccinated.
Quarantine guidelines only require first level contact to quarantine. If Earl were to test positive, then everyone in contact (within 6' for more than 15 minutes) would have to quarantine. Vaccinated individuals do not have to quarantine unless they get sick. At least those are the US rules. I see everyone so upset and people asking the same question you did as well. I don't understand how we are two full years into this here and people still don't know what the rules have been for the past year.
Essentially, Earl's objection to being vaccinated has cost him $15k and a chance at $30k. I applaud him for sticking to his convictions. People have strongly held beliefs on both sides about getting vaccinated, but I believe a lot of the obstainers might have given in if they knew they were risking that much $$,$$$.
What is vaccinated? One shot? Two? Two shots with a booster? Two shots with 2 boosters? I got two shots, thought I was fully vaccinated. Turns out, my doctor tells me to be FULLY vaccinated, I need a booster? My Father in law has two shots and a booster. His doctor told him he needed another booster in 6 months to be as safe as possible.
What about those that have had the virus? Is there a way for them to get an antibody test to show they are as good as vaccinated? I get why people are so skeptical. They keep moving the goal posts and changing the rules.
....or at least that's a rumour. Sky hasn't said publicly, but I'm assuming he's told JJ or MR one way or the other.
Were they the guys who ran the tournament where they called a shot clock violation on Van Boening when he still had an extension? Were they involved in the race to 4 spot shot goofiness? If they are the only people available to run the Mosconi Cup then that's fine but I'd prefer somebody else.
Pat Fleming has a history of running some great events.
i think the race to 4 tournaments you are referring to are the ones run by CSI and predator.
Before you travel to England – not fully vaccinated
Before you travel to England you must:- take a COVID-19 test – to be taken in the 2 days before you travel to England
- book and pay for day 2 and day 8 COVID-19 PCR tests – to be taken after arrival in England
- complete a passenger locator form – to be completed in the 48 hours before you arrive in England
When you arrive in England – not fully vaccinated
After you arrive in England you must:- quarantine at home or in the place you are staying for 10 full days
- take your COVID-19 PCR tests – you must book these tests before you travel
If you are in England for less than 10 days, you need to quarantine for the time you are here. You need to book day 2 and day 8 PCR tests. You only need to take the tests if you are still in England on those days.
Well, not forever. But for a few weeks for sure ;-)
WTF????? Its NOT their call. They have to go by UK guidelines. This has been covered ad nauseam the last couple days and people still keep blaming MR. Want to blame someone blame Earl. He rolled the dice and came up snake-eyes. Shit happens.
Because the ball colors suck!
Agree. The cloth isn't too bad but the balls are a joke.Because the ball colors suck!

Big power grab is what this has become.
