A real "team" game in the mosconi cup.

[The Markster]

A real team sport has the entire team involved in the match. They should do this with a race to 25. Whenever a ball is missed, another team member steps into the game. This could be at the end of the Mosconi cup after all the individual matches.

They should end it on a ring game??

Yes sort of...but the players exit on misses...or I guess they could just jump in whenever, it could be by choice or have a roster order...whatever works. The idea is to have a match with the whole team involved.

I could be wrong but it just sounds a bit silly to me

Not as silly as the tandem matches.

I know...but there is just something kind of lame about it at that level.

Stream it...who watches tv anymore anyway? I can't stand watching tv pool with all the camera angles and zooming in during shots.

 

[MaydayMyers]

Pool on tv is very common in Europe. Coincidentally pool is doing much better as a sport in Europe than America.

Hmmm...Scotch Doubles was invented by a couple friends of mine...both of them national champions. Nothing lame about it...it is one of most popular partners games out there. You're just young and don't know any better.

The initial World Team Billiards matches did something like this.

Looks sounds and acts very familiar. You know, the crazed constant poster irritating everyone about nothing every day and finally getting banned? Yeah, that one.

But which one? I've lost count. Maybe they're just different styles from one person but I don't think anyone is smart enough to keep them so separate and distinct. Maybe we're seeing the work of a master?
