Right, but he should have let SVB get a rematch with FSR and slotted himself for the fourth single, imo.

I get it and don’t know the particulars but something in the rule match ups may have prevented that. And I don’t really know who puts up first to determine the match ups.
Shane has 17 years of history showing 100% he DOESN'T deserve another chance, along with his record this year. 18 years of terrible play
SVB played a total of 5 games in the 3 Team matches -- 1 game against FSR on Day 1 (SVB lost) and 4 games against Shaw on Days 2 and 3 (2 wins, 2 losses). So he won 2 games and lost 3. Those 5 games are included in the "Game Records" shown in Post #1.
I get it, but Sky didn't do any better in the two singles on the final day. He wasn't just OK overall at the event.
Gorst wasn't any better before Day 4 and he also went ahead of SVB. I get Sky's thinking and I understand your point, but SVB just got inducted into the HOF. He always deserves a chance until better U.S. players come along.
No, he doesn't! He's a proven loser with the longest track record in MC history. Giving him any chance is insanity
I made the comment during the Doggin' it Podcast that "Putting SVB in the Mosconi Cup is like scratching on the same shot 20 times in a row and still shooting it the same way next time"
aren’t you clever
If you haven't in the past seen my stats posts on the SVB Era in the Mosconi Cup, here is the update for this year: https://forums.azbilliards.com/thre...yed-on-either-team.464772/page-4#post-8007067
I think you are the one with a math problem. If the best player in the USA struggles in the Mosconi Cup what makes you think someone who isn’t as good as SVB will perform better? If SVB wins 40% of the time just imagine how his replacement will do under the pressure. Your math and logic are laughable as there are no other options to make the US team better.
I would love to see the math on what sub 800 Fargo player from the US will outperform SVB.

Like I expected, Sky hasn’t been much better than SVB. Only Archer has good record.
SVB gets too much blame for Mosconi failures. He hasn’t been able to carry the team on his back, but he’s at least as good as the rest. Which is not very.
Holy shit is america in trouble if you're a representative
Losing is losing. I'd rather lose(or win) with a player that's expected to lose rather than 2 of the top 3 getting destroyed and demoralizing the team.
Styer at least makes it exciting. Shane and Gorst make it exciting because we never know how they're gonna blow their matches
some year ago he didn't want to play a match on the final day, so could've been that.
