Is women aloud on any of the teams? Always wondered why none are ever picked.
I know people say they don't break as well but with the cloth being so fast it
shouldn't make much of a difference at all.

doesn't matter if they are allowed or not.....not a woman on planet earth should make the team

Allison Fisher, Jeanette Lee and I believe Vivian Villarreal have played at least once in past Mosconi Cups.

As I recall I believe the first Mosconi Cup event and maybe the next 1 or 2 afterwards had Allison Fisher and I think Jeanette Lee on the teams. But since then the Mosconi Cup as an event has become more organized and structured and no women since the beginning have been on any of the teams

If by "one of the better players in the world", you mean top 100, then you could certainly debate that, but I think she would fall short of that list in 2015. So many killers across the globe now.

The general consensus in pool is that top class women can't continually outperform semi-pro men. The lowest Fargorate for the top 100 Males (just U.S.) is around 720 or so and that's right about where the top FargoRate in the Worlds Women division.

Interestingly enough, there are slight differences in the psychology of the two genders that make men more inclined to perform well in pool and women not so much. Basically, the differences in slight cognitive abilities show up on a pool table but not a standardized test.

Karren Corr is certainly a monster but I don't think she's a modern Mosconi Cup candidate.

The question I was pondering is how many matches does Dechaine have to win in order to lock in his automatic spot on the mosconi cup team?

He was in #2 spot but in reaching distance from others. I'm guessing two more wins and he will have enough points to put him on the team automatically.
