Knowing Matchroom, I suspect that in the case of a US player being too ill to play Nick V would stand in. In the case of a European I believe Daryl Peach would get the call. Perhaps though as I will be there, was born in England and am now a US Citizen (supporting the US Team) they wouldn't...

I hope it's a success guys it sounds like a good idea.

I don't think we need to go that far, but some of the pro's (and I stress some) look at times like they slept in the clothes they are playing in the night before and that is not good. Local tournaments and leagues seem to have no rules whatsoever and I've seen people in bare feet and singlets...

All just had confirmation that Johnny and Dennis will be joined by Shane, Rodney and Corey................what a great team!

Last thing I heard was a post from Dennis on here saying he was looking forward to playing at the York Hall. I know Dennis doesn't like travelling that much but as he put it 'It's The Mosconi Cup' I am sure he will be there if he can.

Vagabond that is a great idea man, I will try and make a couple of calls today and see if I can get an address or phone # from a couple of friends and see what I can do. But also I am an ex 'Rowdy Brit' now a US Citizen and will be putting that to good use there this year, in the best possible...

You are absolutely right, Johnny told me that too and the one previous time I have been I can agree 100% with that. There is no other venue like it and no other fan base to rival those at the York Hall. It's going to be very difficult to retain the Cup but there appear to be quite a few people...

Yes I believe it must be Corey and SVB, Corey is third in the rankings and US Open Runner Up, could anyone ever imagine Matchroom leaving out SVB, I don't believe so. Charlie has several points against him, he'd have to pay excess baggage for that briefcase and they'd have to search it every...

Nick Van den Berg just named as 5th player for Europe, joining Darren Appleton, Karl Boyes, Ralf Souquet and Mika Immonen.

You are right it's a closelu guarded secret I cannot get confirmation on selection process. My guess would be that Johnny and Dennis who are confirmed will be joined by Rodney, Corey and SVB. If I had to bet on it, I would say No Internet Vote this year, but thats only my opinion.

All Just had an email from Matchroom, the fianl European player will be named today (in the next hour) and the US Team Friday.

Nothing stopped them entering did it?

Good point and statements made about a ceratin country's players being better than another country's could possibly be interpreted as 'bigoted'. I just find any type of bigotry offensive. I do not find Patriotism offensive supporting your Country, in the right way, should always be seen as a...

Let the best man (or woman) win is my view no matter who it is or where they are from. But and it's a big but, if people are going to post statements like the above which is a personal attack on someone for their views please at least get it right. The phrase "I would love to see an American...

That's my point I wouldn't pay the money for the Bugatti you may well do, each to their own, guess I'm just too tight! Plus in Atlanta where and when would I be able to use that devastating Bugatti straight line speed, other than at 2.00am in the morning.

If people believe one makers cues are better than anothers they will pay a premium for that, it's a simple case of Capitalism at work. I personally would not pay the sort of money some people pay for a cue, all I want is a cue that's well built and feels 'right' to me. If I want something to...

Efren is a great player and always capable of winning anything he enters. Personally I would love to see one of the two from the club where I play win it, Johnny Archer or Shawn Puttnam. Failing that I'd love to see Stevie Moore take the title, the guy is an awesome player and a truely nice guy...

Great choice I am sure you will not be disappointed, really wish I had found this place before I bought my first couple of cues. You now have the bug just start saving those pennies for your next one and make sure you get it made to your specs. :grin:

Mike Congratulations on a great performance, just keep going and see what happens. Hopefully the next time we meet will be in London in December ;)

I like your idea, but I also see Barry's side of it too where more players get money. It's Barry's Tournament and it's impossible to please everyone, if he changed it someone would complain about that so sticking with his current structure is probably where it will remain.
