Will that be good for a wild card shot? :)

I can fantasize! But even then, the minute I got on TV I am sure I would vomit all over the table. Ratings would soar.

Oscar has elevated his game and surely belongs on the team. Not only is he super competitive, he has the wherewithal to participate in the Mosconi Cup points events and the game to place highly in them. He's an outstanding representative of both our game and the United States. To me, he is what America is all about,

The last Mosconi Cup points list in this thread was after the Chinook Winds event. Two more points events have been held since then -- the Don Coates Memorial 9-Ball and the SBE Pro Players Championship. There are now 27 events providing points, and 8 of them are behind us. Here are the current top 10 players:

1. Rodney Morris, 106 points -- 4th at TS (33), 2nd at Swanee (24), 13th-16th at Chinook (7), 1st at Coates (40), 25th-32nd at SBE (2)
2. Mike Dechaine, 94 -- 9th-12th at TS (18), 1st at Empire (20), 4th at Chinook (18), 5th-6th at Coates (22), 5th-8th at SBE (16)
3. Oscar Dominguez, 93 points -- 3rd at TS (35 pts), 25th-32nd at TX (3), 1st at Swanee (30), 17th-24th at Chinook (6), 9th-12th at Coates (14), 17th-24th at SBE (5)

T9. Mike Davis, 39 -- 4th at Empire (13), 7th-8th at Coates (18), 13th-16th at SBE (8)

Here is the Matchroom listing, which is easier to read and has more players (but does not show the ranks/positions for each event unless you cross-reference to the points schedules): http://www.matchroompool.com/wp-content/uploads/US-Rankings-2016-5.pdf

TEAM play

Yeah, the Euro players have the strongest mental games in the world I think, and they are all very seasoned world class players. The US has not had a team in a long time that were not only equal in world class talent, but has had the mental game to deal with the pressure. I think a very short rave to 5 with alternating breaks puts a lot of mental pressure on a player, so the US really needs players that are very seasoned in world class events. I do not know, but this is just my opinion.

Good points.

People with limited SERIOUS team play experience think that the best players make the best team. No so.

My team would have players with attitudes like Skyler, and not players who complain constantly, blame everyone else for their poor play or go off on cursing rants when they lose.
 
Another Mosconi Cup points event was played last weekend -- the Chuck Markulis Memorial 9-Ball event won by Vilmos Foldes (ineligible for Team USA) with Rodney Morris second. That was the 9th points event, with 18 more to be played.

Oscar Dominguez moved ahead of Mike Dechaine into 2nd place, Hunter Lombardo moved up to a tie for 6th, and Tony Chohan moved into 9th place. Here are the current top 10 players eligible for Team USA:

1. Rodney Morris, 138 points -- 4th at TS (33 points), 2nd at Swanee (24), 13th-16th at Chinook (7), 1st at Coates (40), 25th-32nd at SBE (2), 2nd at Markulis (32)
2. Oscar Dominguez, 115 points -- 3rd at TS (35), 25th-32nd at TX (3), 1st at Swanee (30), 17th-24th at Chinook (6), 9th-12th at Coates (14), 17th-24th at SBE (5), 5th-6th at Markulis (22)
3. Mike Dechaine, 94 -- 9th-12th at TS (18), 1st at Empire (20), 4th at Chinook (18), 5th-6th at Coates (22), 5th-8th at SBE (16)
4. Shane Van Boening, 80 -- 1st at DCC (50), 17th-24th at Coates (6), 2nd at SBE (24)

That top 4 looks solid. Haven't really seen too much of Wilkie's game, but he must be okay
 
When it comes to the DCC, TS, Expo. almost all the top 10 players except SVB, don't get many points. I know there is still 5 months to go, but I said when this new point system came out we would end up with at least 2 if not 3 regional players going to the cup. Johnnyt
 
Another Mosconi Cup points event was played this past weekend -- the Ginky Memorial 10-Ball event won by Zion Zvi. It was the 10th points event, with 17 more to be played.

Only 3 of the previous top 10 players entered the Ginky event, and they all picked up some points. Mike Dechaine remains in 3rd place, but he moved up to just one point behind 2nd place. Shaun Wilkie moved ahead of Shane Van Boening into 4th place, and Hunter Lombardo pulled ahead of Skyler Woodward for solo 6th. Here are the current top 10 players eligible for Team USA:

1. Rodney Morris, 138 points -- 4th at TS (33 points), 2nd at Swanee (24), 13th-16th at Chinook (7), 1st at Coates (40), 25th-32nd at SBE (2), 2nd at Markulis (32)

[Note: assumes the points awarded for the Ginky event will be as previously posted for a Level 2, Grade 3 event. I will check the above list once the updated Matchroom list is posted.]

Thanks.

How many of the 5 players on the MC team MUST come from the top 5 in points?

The top three on the points list make the team automatically (although one or more could decline to play, I suppose). The other two team members will be chosen by Captain Mark Wilson. He is free to choose anyone, although last year he did choose the players in the 4th and 5th spots on the points list (Woodward and Bergman).
