Does Each Mosconi Team have a Back up?
- Thread starter Johnnyt
- Start date
As long as they change it to 7' tables I'm in:grin:. Johnnyt
I would imagine Matchroom would just name an additional player to the team. If it's really short notice then perhaps the captain can play.

For you, JT? From the side of the table, they'll slide-out the middle slate, and push the two remaining ends of the table together to make a smaller table, just like those quick-adjusting dining room tables.
-Sean <-- always wondered what those two handles on each side were for on Mosconi Cup tables; now he knows -- those are JT handles!
This may answer your question: Mika played last year with the flu.

With the flu and pink eye, he still would have been better than the next selection.
Yes I heard. But flu is one thing, broken arm is something else. Johnnyt
Im sure the 10,000 dollars win or lose has a factor in people calling out sick.
Mika, IMO is so dedicated that he would have to be dead not to show up.
Umm....yeah. It seems all three of you have me beat on this one.
Yeah, but what if one of the players get caught at the airport with illegal substances in the suitcase?:grin-square: (Another thread here gave me that idea..)
Then you for sure need a backup, or bail money. Good thought Johnny
Knowing Matchroom, I suspect that in the case of a US player being too ill to play Nick V would stand in. In the case of a European I believe Daryl Peach would get the call.
Perhaps though as I will be there, was born in England and am now a US Citizen (supporting the US Team) they wouldn't need but one stand by....................Me

If something happens to a US player the day of the event how will a new player get to the UK on time. Johnnyt
Nick Varner is the Captain of the team, and he just finished 17-24th in the U.S. Open. He is still a cool man with a cue in his hand. :grin:
No such problem for the European squad. There are several very good players available in the London area if need be. Daryl Peach, Chris Melling and even Steve Davis to name three.
The Mosconi cup is held over 4 days. Just hold off that player's matches for a day and call in Earl Strickland.
