That scoring company does not deal with 2-phase events very well. The phases are listed on the site as separate events. I think there is no combined set of results. Hopefully they will have eliminated the confusion by next year.
Atlantic City....2021.I hope Earl controls his emotions and plays well. It is imperative that he keeps to his word and maintains a positive attitude with his teammates too. There’s nothing worse than a teammate berating you for your mistakes- destroys confidence and team morale
If Earl comes out of the gate strong, he will finish strong.
I sincerely hope he does.
Earl had paid his dues in pool 100X times and he has accomplished some amazing things over the years.
It would be a great thing for him & pool & our team to have Earl come out and finish strong this year. This doesn’t have to be his last Mcup either.

A fool flatters himself. A wise man flatters a fool.
Earl will remain positive only as long as everything goes his way. If his game is off or the crowd gets to him it won't be pretty. Seen it too many times. I know how he did in '13 and i don't see eight yrs. passage will have improved things. Hope i'm wrong but i'm too much a realist to think otherwise.
I hear you man, but he has to find confidence somewhere to perform at that level.
I have a strong suspicion that Matchroom "chose" Earl to represent the USA at the Mosconi Cup this year.
Earl has not won or even finished high enough in any recent tournament to deserve it.
Earl will certainly create controversy, buzz, sell tickets, and increase viewership, and that's what Matchroom really wants.
They pulled a similar move when they publicized Judd Trump's entry at the US Open in September.

You are probably correct. However, Earl at least deserves some credit for taking the opportunity seriously and preparing diligently for the MC. Hopefully it results in something positive.
If it wasn't a 100% MR pick they were definitely in on it. Probably Earl's last one of these so maybe it was part JJ, part MR and part send-off for a legend. Really hope things go well for him.
It's not about what he has won or finished high enough in any recent tournament.
He deserves it based on his body of work and the fact that he can break and run out with the best of them still.
If he couldn't hit the end rail, you can bet he wouldn't be there. This isn't the IPT with Mike against Efren.
Hating losing and acting like an asshole after loosing are two different things. Shane loses, Filler loses , Darren loses, everybody loses. Only Earl loses and acts like the world owes him something. I put Earl's chances of keeping it together lasts until his first bad roll. After that the meltdown, which is why Matchroom loves Earl, will begin.
Might be a good time to revisit this two-year-old blog post.
Let’s go EARL!!!
I had a couple guys say that Earl was a bad pick for the team but I Hinestly feel things are different.
I feel that Shane and Jeremy sat down with him and laid it all out for him. Such as this is your last chance at the cup and he is needed but under certain conditions. Conditions such as being a supportive player to the team and to compose himself in the arena.
If Earl is a smart man (which I think he is) he will realize this and except it and not let the team down. I could be wrong because we all know that Earl can flip that bipolar switch that he has and that’s a problem. The man does have a hard time managing his emotions and with the pressure of the cup and Europe home court advantage…. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Overall I would love to see Earl play his best and be the best teammate and supporter of the Team USA. If they do pull it off it would be a solid achievement for Earl being 60 years old. God speed Team USA!!! No matter who is on the team every year… We all come together to root for our boys!!!

All I know is the crowd isn’t going to get to Earl because his teeth are good.
And they're for eatin' meat not salads. Just ask Eberle,errrr,Rogan.
hey mike, neat blog. how about the last two years? generally-speaking, how's earl been performing? looks like his fargo's dropped.
