Can someone tell me exactly what a Mosconi captain's responsibilities are? I'm guessing he comes up with the schedule, but I can't imagine any captain doing that autocratically! I mean, even in my APA pool leagues, I give the players the choice of match as much as I can; I can only imagine how...

How does Putnam do in high pressure games? Has he been to a Mosconi cup before? Also, how important is skill vs. ability to strike fear in the opponent? Ralf Souquet is beatable, but when players line up against him, they have a fear in their bellies and that's half the work for Souquet. Earl...

Honor system... love it! Something the Europeans probably don't care much for. I couldn't believe the kind of heckling our guys had to put up with last year. Cheer for your team... that's fine. But don't laugh out loud when someone misses from the opposite team... that's just crass! Its going...

I'd hate to come all the way just to watch the game on monitors :(. So even if I get a decent seat, if I leave to go get something to drink, it's up for grabs? I wish they would let us buy numbered seats :(

Quick question: how does the seating at the Mosconi cup work? My buddy already purchased the 4 day pass for the both of us, but it didn't have any section information. So is it first come first served? Is there a US section and a European section? can I bring my bottle of Jack to the stands? :)

I will be going to my first ever Mosconi cup this year, though I've been religiously following it on TV for the past 3 years (which is all the time I've played pool). I have never been so unsure about anything in life as I am about whether or not I want Earl playing this year. How can you have a...

Exactly!! To me, that was a game changer... a tournament changer. Gave them all the confidence in the world that even when the US in on the hill, we'll self-destruct and let them back in. Btw, it's one thing for the fans to be biased and rowdy, but what's with those ass*$# commentators? They...

For me, it was when I realized that I needed to draw with left english to get the ball to hit a rail and spin wide right for position; that alone blew my mind and every time I do it and a novice is looking, I see their eyes going "how did he do that??" :) In the words on an ex-colleague, "once...

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!! :). However, Mike is almost guaranteed a spot; so replace Rodney with Mike and that's a solid team. As much as I love the Hatchman, he seemed a bit shaky last year. Then again, we have no idea how Mike is going to perform under pressure; so maybe Hatch is...
