I'd like to see a big purse one hole tournament in the U.S, just to see if an American would win it. I saw a thread not long ago saying that the U.S would run over the rest of the world. Ten years ago maybe, but not today IMO. You have top 1 hole players from around the world now. Alex, Dennis...

If you were in it to make money...good luck on that. Letting top players play with no handicap was a bad move IMO. If you just played for fun, it was a good game to play. It was free money to Mike D and the rest of the top players that played. Johnnyt

Thank you. Not too bad. Johnnyt

And what did he finish...10th? Johnnyt

I started this thread to show the difference in the # of top players that come from the U.S, compared to all of Europe. Even though I didn't write it well, most got the picture. Johnnyt

Yes, thank you. That is what I meant. Johnnyt

I consider SVB, Bergman, Thorpe, and Woodward the only VERY TOP players coming from the U.S. Maybe it's only SVB. Johnnyt

I looked pretty good but couldn't find one...unless it's in Chinese. Johnnyt

I think that not refunding Oscar and his Dad last year magnified the no refund rule for a lot of players. Might be something to the Shaw thing. Johnnyt

Could it be that a lot of the top players don't like the idea of no refund on entry...no matter what. Also that the non-refunds go into the promotors pocket. Looks like the usual dead money has a real chance to cash for this TS, which is good for the dead money guys & gals. What might not be...

Wrong. The ones that slow plays bore are the new first time viewers, and most won't be back. Johnnyt

Slow is one of the biggest reasons the mainstream public gets bored to death watching it for the first and last time. Pool will never become more than it is now. New young promoters are needed to speed the game up a lot. You get 30 sec and no more. Anyone that can't figure a shot out in 30 sec...

For sure Europe's top ten players are better than our top ten, but I would like to see there top 5 vs our top 5, W/O the big crowd screaming. I have a hunch the U.S will be a much better team. Johnnyt Happy Holidays to all.

I agree. Anyone not wanting to do that becomes a risk of not paying up. Johnnyt

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, to the AZB members. Johnnyt

As the stats point out, Europe started their big winning percentage, just before SVB started playing in the cup. U.S hasn't slid backwards in ability, they have stayed at the same skill level for years. On the other hand, Europe has got stronger and has more top players. Johnnyt

Pool is not 90% mental. It's more like 20% mental and 80% skill. Johnnyt

This is a great idea. This would wake some U.S players up. I would put the U.S on two loses starting now. Johnnyt

Big deal for 100K. Both will have stakehorses. I'd rather see them play for 20K each of ALL their own money. Johnnyt

The UK programs on TV are saying things ten times worse than what Oscar said. We don't understand a lot of the things you say either UK. Get a LIFE. Johnnyt
