Scott Frost has just claimed AJ Manas is going to become a world champions in no less than three next years.
Yikes!

If so, it will be because WPA adds another twenty sanctioned world championships between now and then. Perhaps Manas will win the WPA one handed one pocket world championship or the WPA eight ball last pocket world championship.

With regards to 9ball, however, I'd rather hear when Scott thinks Manas will get his first Top 5 finish in a major. I'm not sure I see even that as imminent. Let him prove me wrong at the upcoming Philippines Open.

Manas is a likeable and talented young player. He has made a fan of me, but one must be very delusional to predict immediate greatness for him, let alone suggest his first world 9ball championship is imminent. Nobody of right mind could suggest that he already has all the tools, for he is quite ordinary in his tactical and defensive skills. He has accomplished virtually nothing in the junior world championships, whether you look at the Under 17 or Under 19 categories. He has barely ever taken down a big-name player in major competition.

Scott may need an extra cup of coffee.
 
Emily Frazer: "I feel both of them, Jayson and Skyler, are the backbone of team Europe and team USA". Oh boy
 
Emily just announced Sky and Shaw will be playing captains at this year's Mosconi Cup. Did JJ just get fired? Or was this always the plan? (I legit forgot).

JJ was already kind of "retired" last year. Last time it was Shaw and Woodward as playing captains already. And as it stands, this might be like forever from now on.
 
I've got a stupid blonde question, but here goes. If Team ROW wins every match today, does Reyes Cup keep going on until someone reaches 11 matches for the win? Or does it stop at 5 matches and Team Asia is already the winner before today started.
 
Looks like Asia is finally showing some mercy, albeit belatedly. Three errors in a row from Chua plays FSR back into rack 6 and back into the match, now 3-3. The kick Chua missed was probably 98% to make a good hit at his level and he was not even close.

If score is tied at 10-10 captains are to pick who will play a decider (singles match)

The doubles match was like watching an APA match. 2 scratch on the break and a hanging 9 from Team Asia. Mercy is the word 😆
 
ROW have Gorst out in the next 2 games, and it's then captain picks.

So one of Gorst/Shaw will be in the next 4 matches.

A chance for ROW to make it 10-7.
 
Boyes keeping Frost honest. Frost comically suggested that a reckless kick shot by FSR in rack 8, in which he mistakenly opened up the only cluster on the table, was skill. As it turns out, a snooker was fluked after the mistake. Even at this point, where Scott and Karl are trying their darndest to convince us that FSR is playing well when he is not, Boyes would let that bit of fiction go. Now Chua has missed a relatively simple swerve at the 3ball, hanging it to sell out the match. Gift after gift here. I'm not blaming Chua here, for it looks like someone wants the Reyes Cup to continue. Two incredibly embarrassing efforts in a row from Team Asia.

I hope Manas claims the winning point. This travesty must end.

The lag on the next match was total giveaway from Team Asia
 
When Biado shoots in this format, it highlights that he is - multiple World Champion that belongs in every elite of elite conversation. His creativity and ball striking never ceases to impress.
 
Can somebody tell me what is the current team score and what match is going on/coming up? Is there a place with updated summary information that I am missing?

Yes, he is one of the clearest thinkers at the table of this generation of players and he backs up his superior conceptualization with breathtaking execution. A first-tier star by every reckoning.
