The Reyes Cup

S

The horror. Meet the sked to satisfy broadcast partners.

Why do you pay attention given your MR-is-bad-at-everything viewpoint?

In any case, five matches a night might be too long. And I’d rather the event not end in three days.
MRoom could hand out gold coins at every event and he'd still bitch. No clue why some russian dude is so pissed at a British sports promotion company. Lucky 'ol BadVlad doesn't put a AK in his paws and ship him to the front. ;)
 
Kaci is a awful. I would never pick him in a team match.

Wrong attitude and somebody who is not a team player.

He is the European version of SVB.

i disagree with most things you write on here, but i agree with this. not a team player, bleak and uncomfortable in a cup setting.
 
I think it's mostly the players not playing their A-game. Also curious: was Boyes a good teamcoach?

Couldve wouldve shouldve, but how would this team have faired under Johan Ruijsink?
 
Feel for Matchroom

Awkward position of having to cut matches?

MR's done it more than once when the US was getting hammered in the Mosconi. They plan for these things. Part of 'showbiz'. Comparing Kaci to Shane is bs imo. Shane's deafness has made him a type-a lone wolf. Team things are not his bag. It has nothing to do with a 'bad attitude'. He's won some important points in the MC but team play is not his favorite.
 
jump cues at a Reyes Cup?

Boyes as a captain?

alternate break race to 5 again?

first to 11 again?

at least they got some chairs
made for adults

and how many of these fans
are pool players that know alcaide from filler?

and does screaming at good shots
mean they are enthusiastic?

doubt johann would've done it for 15k. karl is already on the payroll.

i hope this grows like mosconi. it's a joy to see the asians, players and fans alike. as for team europe, well i hope filler plays the MC..

True, but as a what if...

I forgot who said it, but I would be even more excited if we would have the Reyes Cup in October: Team Phillipines vs Team Asia, Mosconi Cup in December: Europe vs America(s?) and in the spring the Globe Cup: winner vs winner.
 
Glad to hear Matchroom did their best to give fans value for money.

If you're going to cut 2 matches from the schedule, you need to replace them with exhbition matches.
A NFL-style halftime show with juggling monkeys and strippers would be a crowd-pleaser too. ;)

I think the impact of who the coach is is very minimal, but I do think choosing Karl was a curious pick. I like Karl, but he’s a bit of a clown and probably not someone the players are going to take seriously.

IMO the only time the coach had much effect was when the US got Johan from Europe. He was an Olympic-grade coach/psychologist that helped the US get over the hump to win. Other than him the coach is way over-rated.
 
On the Facebook someone suggested Scott Frost vs Efren in a one pocket match if it's a short day again. It's never going to happen, bit that would be awesome.

In general I do hope Efren gets to shoot in one way or another.

There may have been others too, but I've been shouting that out to anyone that will listen :ROFLMAO:

I think it would be great and the Asian talent pool is big enough too!

Scott Frost mentioned on air that he will be playing Efren at some point tomorrow
 
Europe going to bat without Gorst and Filler at the Reyes Cup is like the 1927 Yankees playing without Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. ***

Wonder how many asterisks the AZB participation police will award the Asian team, provided it holds on and closes the deal.

*** For non-baseball fans, in 1927, the Yankees had the two best players in baseball, both considered on the short list of the best baseball players of all time.
