I was just about to say, "which one is Darren???"
They got a silver medal
douche chills coming over me
Europe
Asia
Middle East
North America
Those 4 teams IMO. The Middle East would be a little weak at the start but they are starting to see a better stable of players and results in world class events. They are also massive financial supporters for this sport at this point and for them to be included in an event like this would help pool in the Middle East and worldwide.
I would do a 3 team round robin between the non-champions. The team that wins the round robin plays the defending champs for the title.
The round robin would be mixed matches between all three teams so you would view an America vs Asia match, then an Asia vs Middle East match, then an America vs Middle East match, ect... each team plays 9 matches against each other team, one team match, 5 singles matches, and 3 scotch doubles.
If the round robin ends
Asia 14 wins
Middle East 8 wins
North America 5 wins
The Middle East gets 3rd, the USA gets 4th, and Asia goes to the championships match against Europe.
Prize money for 3rd and 4th would be a share of a prize pool based on wins. So if there is $65,000 for the bottom two paces the Middle East would receive $40,000 for their 8 wins and America would receive $25,000 for their 5 wins.

If I'm not mistaken, the World Cup of Pool is a thing.
Because we're getting our ass handed to us that means we have to change the teams and format? Sounds real salty to me.
If USA won 11-3, this wouldn't even be mentioned.

How about The EU, England, North America, Asia?
Well hey everybody, look at the bright side.....

I purposely went with region vs region and avoided region vs country.
As said above, there is already a World Cup of Pool for country vs country.
This would be an event to determine the dominant regional scene. In general North America, Europe, and Asia have their own regional pool scene, tours, and events and the players from those regions have a connection as they generally compete in those distinct tours and events against others from those regions.
Sounds good. North American would be boosted by Alex and Morra. Middle East will be composed of mostly resident Filipinos who played and qualified for main stage in droves in recent Kuwait Open. They will give North America run for their money.
Asia will be spoiled for choice- tough to choose 5 players from Taiwan and Philippines- far easier to choose 5 teams. Most years, Final will be Europe v Asia
The World Cup of Pool is often confused as a team event. It is not team event, it is just a doubles event- comprising 1 doubles pair from each country. About 30 countries take part.
The only country v country team event is the now defunct World Team Pool championship which was held every 2 years and lasted few editions with last edition few years ago. It has about 5 players playing singles, doubles, mixed doubles . Only about 5 matches in each country v country matchup. About 20 to 30 teams all over world take part. All the Euros, Asians have played in it. Group stage followed by knock out stage. Champions gets about $15K per player. UK and Taiwan have won it.
See Match #11.

Look at the picture. What is that bling hanging around the American's necks? It's not part of their shirts. Looks to me like they were awarded the silver medal.
