Sacrificing time away from home and work to "represent my country" in an event that that vast,vast majority of my country doesn't even know exists? An event where Imwouldn't even be participating in? Yeah, real hard choice to make.

Serious lulz.

It would be an easy thing to commit to if we were discussing NBA players going to the Olympics. Broke pool players is a different story.

If Mr. Wilson truly expects people to sacrifice so much extra time after already being cut, for a chance at making the team next year, then good luck to him in finding three more suckers*ahem* players next year.

SEALs' lives depend on each other. When you're on a SEAL team, you're on the team, going on missions, watching each others' backs. The Mosconi team will be a team for a few days, then go back to trying to beat each other for the cash, when they actually bother to match up at all. Piss poor...

Wrestling teams (an individual sport based around a team, much like this event) often have more than one wrestler in each weight class. They can only field one person in each weight class for each varsity meet. Guess what they do? They have a "wrestle off," aka a Shootout. It ensures the better...

Lol. Maybe he needed three more guys setting up drills, coaching on special shots, and whatnot, too

I'll hire Mark Gregory, if I ever have need of someone. Seems like less wait time, and without the online arrogance.

A lot of speculation going on here. I presented a question of whether it was the table or the cue ball to Mika Immonen on his facebook page. I'll wait and see if he responds.

On my league team, we have everyone show up, because anyone could play that night. The three in discussion wouldn't be getting played, and they knew it. They're not on the official team roster. They got courtesy titles, equivalent to participation trophies.

As a veteran who gave years of my life to my country, I find the comparison between pool players playing a TV exhibition, and volunteering to serve in the military insulting.

this in a nutshell. Matchroom is about making money. If the MC keeps making money, they'll keep producing it. If it starts losing money, I have no doubt in my mind they'll drop it in an instant and come up with something else to promote. Three guys staying home who aren't even playing? Probably...

What a non-issue. It will never cease to amaze me what a big deal people on here make over every little detail of an exhibition match whose sole purpose is to make Barry Hearn money.

Seriously looking forward to it. Hoping to bundle up the chalk, a Solo and some tips together, save on shipping.

Cannot aggree more. In spite of what AZB forums like to think, in reality MC is a blip on the pool radar. If anything, staying in the U.S. And participating in the U.S. Only circle jerks Has served to hurt the U.S. Players more than anything else.

Any videos available online?

Sorry(well, never sorry to prove a Shanetard wrong), but the liberal thinking belongs to those saying things like "Shane won a WPA sanctioned US Open, so he's a world champion," or "Shane won an event called the World Pool Masters, so he's a world champion." They're basically trying to give him...

Calling someone a world bank pool champion is like calling the NFL Super Bowl champs a world champion. If the game is played little to not at all outside of one country, it's meaningless. Same foes foe one pocket.

Once again, I'll mention that since Shane himself has admitted he's not won a world championship, that shows the value of that supposed "world championship"

That event was one of Dragon Promotions' "World" tournaments, like the 14.1 and what they tried to do with the women's 10-ball event this year.
