I am really surprised how load and disrespectful the crowd is. All the booing is so rude. I'm almost surprised no one from either team doesn't sit back down and wait until they shut up...

Mosconi Cup crowds aren't the same as regular pool tournament crowds. This year's crowd is about the same as MC crowds from all of the other years that I've watched.
 
This year is tame. You should have seen the circus when Earl was fighting the audience In past years. And you sometimes wonder if It was only Earl who hear "voices from the audience " LOL

I forgot what the cup was like. I can totally understand Earl snapping there. It's like playing at the Elks club sometimes. Yesterday i am taking a shot and one of the bar flys comes over to look over my shoulder at the shot. I nearly lost my poop...

yeah, making pool exciting for spectators would suck....
 
The Mosconi Cup audience sounds like the audience at a sporting event.

At other pool tournaments the audience sounds like people attending a funeral.
 
I think it's great. Brings excitement. In all other sports fans root for the home team, or for their favorite players. This is what sports are about. Why should pool audiences act like they're in a library?

I don't think they're being rude or inappropriate. If they were yelling right when a guy was about to shoot, or shining lights or jumping up in down to disrupt players, that would be different. But they're not.

What they're doing is cheering good shots, gasping at bad shots, and "oohing" and "aahing" whenever someone gets out of line. It's great. It's exactly what a fired-up pool audience should be doing.
 
I agree!!

I play and gamble in places far worst, these guys aren't playing bad because of the crowd noise, its the pressure and the lack of preparation for the event, or maybe Europe just has better players

The crowd is great, its what we need here...., remember where they are, these are the same crowds that break out into fights at soccer games!!!!! .
