Yes, but I have no idea what you look like, while I'm the guy who looks just like the picture in my avatar. You'll have to find me.

Wow, what a run, although the extremely repetitious background music for the first 30 points was not easy to fade.

Back then, the women only played each other in singles.

Yup, I've got four different seats for the four days. I think I'm in VIP seating for two of the four days. If you'll be there, by all means say hi.

Thanks for that.

No, the first Mosconi was in 1994. Team Europe featured eight players, four from the UK, three from Germany and one from Sweden.

Is that based on the Fargo of his opponent at the time those matches occurred? If it's based on each player's Fargo of today, it's misleading. Players rated as high as 832 is a relatively new thing. It wasn't so long ago that the list of Fargo 800 players had almost nobody on it and I'd have...

Adding Canada would have almost no impact on the event. Alex played in just two WNT events this year and cannot logically be viewed as a WNT pro. Morra, who managed a fifth-place finish at the Florida Open, would be a slight upgrade over Billy Thorpe, but not enough to move the needle. Even...

Agreed that Thorsten is a slightly better player than Billy, but like Billy, he had no high WNT finishes this year.

Yes, Sky is a playing captain. Just five guys.

Thanks for sharing that. He was very shy when he moved to the United States nearly twenty years ago. I recall a time when Jennifer Barretta and I were practicing together one night in 2006 at Amsterdam Billiards, intending to go out to dinner when we had finished. I noticed Thorsten...
