The sports networks are using various billiard tournaments for filler these days.
Watching the World 9-Ball, commentator Rico Diks mentioned:
That Europeans look upon billiards as their sport and are willing to get coaching, and concentrate on tournaments not gambling, just the opposite to the American approach.
That the Mosconi European team was worked by their coach, doing shooting drills etc. to get them fit for the brawl with Earl and his mob. He didn't mention what preparation (if any) Earl and his mob had before crossing the pond.
