Matchroom have put this event as a PPV for $30. So what is the point of having a WNT Subscription if they are going to add more on top?

Getting a photo with Shane and Skyler at the Mosconi Cup. It was also cool to attend my first Mosconi Cup event, despite the score! Tyler's misses on the 9 were all pretty crazy moments.

The problem Bergman is going to have is that he isn't seeded with the WNT. So if he enters an open event, he might end up playing a top 16 player in his first match.

Scott Frost said the below. He’s going to chase the cup this year. He’s going to play some events overseas, and he’s going to do whatever he can to make Team USA. If he performs, and I think he can perform, I think that’s a huge benefit. “Here’s what I can promise you, Justin’s doing very...

Ronnie would clean-up in Heyball if he took it seriously.

A $100k prize fund is not a lot. 1st gets $30,000 2nd gets $14,000 3/4 gets $7,000 5-8 gets $3,500

Fargo cap tournaments are also a huge part of the problem. How are players supposed to develop when they get banned from tournaments? If I was Matchroom, I would buy Fargo and abolish it.

Just listened to Dennis Hatch on the Doggin It podcast. Really impressed with his thoughts, and I think he would be a very good captain for the Mosconi.

Sounds like Johan and Matchroom are deep in negotiations. Hopefully they agree a deal and Johan can start planning for next year's cup.

Great to see the door open for Johan. But it will need all of the players to commit to a camp before. Will SVB and Sky be prepared to miss the International Open and Ultimate Pool events to practice? I think Fedor and Tyler would definitely do it.

And most Americans don't want to be cheering on Canadians. USA-Europe is the rivalry that sells.

Matchroom Emily Frazer in a recent interview said that the Mosconi Cup is the only pool event that makes money, and it helps plug some of the losses from the other events on the WNT tour. Without the Mosconi Cup, the WNT tour would be a lot smaller, meaning less prize money for players.

What makes better television? That's how Matchroom look at things.

Exactly, the Mosconi Cup is the most profitable pool event in the world. It's the only pool event that gets non-Pool fans interested.

Big pockets are boring. The best part of 9 ball is players missing, especially on the 9.
