I read, Sky/Shaw were playing captains.
Even worse. 2 captains
Get an old school player that knows the ropes better than the players, like a Bustamante moment.
Or....
Be cool to see Worlds best snooker player or 3 cushion player be a team coach.

As far as the talent pool, that does not include adults who started playing in bar league a couple of years ago. Anyone aspiring to be a pro player needs to put in many 8-hour days on good equipment before they turn 21. There are many promising young players at the US Junior Nationals, but in that age group, I think Poland is stronger.

Recently a very active bar league player told me that the real interest in league play was the social interaction and getting better was not very interesting, especially the boring practice part. When I was putting in my 8- and 12-hour days, I wanted to play better and to beat people, and much of my table time was solo practice.

Couldn't agree more... That has been my experience with league players as well
