Mosconi Cup Updates

This thread is for updating the Mosconi Cup for those who can not see it for whatever reason. If you can update, log in and tell us what day and time you will up date.

I (JoeW) will update day one on the hour and half hour.

No need to say thanks, we all know you appreciate it.

From what I read on Live Sport the Mosconi Cup starts at 14:00 (EST)

It would probably be appreciated if someone can update at 15 after the hour and 15 before the hour.

Tomorrow we can start a thread for the Mosconi Cup Day 2 updates to keep the number of posts reasonable.
