Mosconi Cup Ranking Proposal

[Joe_Jaguar]

It is easy to see why Matchroom are the top company in the game.. After Stevie's intelligently compiled appeal they have listened to his views and reacted to them.

They have dropped the overseas events 'for economic reasons' and have added two Seminole events to make 10 all US based events where players can earn ranking points towards Mosconi Cup points.

Well done Luke Riches

Is Matchroom going to come out with any press release confirming this change to the Mosconi ranking points event schedule? Hadn't seen one yet (got a link?). Any idea if the location for this year's event has been set yet? Vegas? MGM again? Thanks.

Its a lot simpler than that IMHO the reason is lack of TV time here in the US. Look at what airs here in front of Pool, Monster Truck Racing, Camel Racing from somewhere nobody's ever heard of and it would seem pretty obvious. Matchroom like any business are in it to make money, without TV coverage there is none to be made.

There are options other than ESPN, (Comcast Sports, Versus, etc) but of course the biggest hurdle is the money necessary to obtain that time. And whether or not it's a number that they can live with.

Here's to hoping...
