Uhh,, gotta believe fluffing the Mosconi is a big reason they were even selected, with all due respect they're both amazing.
nevermind...if Josh and fedor are sitting there to be picked I'm going with them twice on Sunday lol and Shane's a forced pick.
Wow, I've never seen that in 9ball, only 10ball. On second thought, they used to spot the nine if it went in on the break at the challenge of champions, possibly in the women's event only.

They are indicated in the article that wraps up Day One play on the Matchroom website.
They are buried. No scores to be found except in this article:
That would be a long debate. But I agree that either of the Ko brothers should have been included in the team.
yea i think shane along with filler and FSR was automatic from ranking points.. icbw.
The Ko brothers weren’t eligible - didn’t play the required number of WNT majors (they are mainly playing Chinese pool these days).
Pretty sure it’s just top American (Shane) and top European (FSR) that got guaranteed spots. The other three were Matchroom / Captain’s picks.
Nine spotting on the break is very common in my area. With rack your own, allowing 9b on the breaks can lead to big problems with rack mechanics wiring the 9 (or even innocent bad rackers wiring the 9). At minimum it’s usually 9b doesn’t count in the two corners on the break.
I don’t know if you were around at the Derby (rack your own no template years) when Mika and Frost almost got into it because the 9 was heading straight to the corner on multiple Frost breaks.
i think the conclusion of that debate would be that one of the two countries is superior when it comes to strength in numbers, and the other has a slightly sharper edge at the very top.
why don't you use templates? the amount of fights and arguments the magic rack helped decrease here was significant..
