I am fine with putting folks in different brackets...ie NCAA tournament style where the top seeds are put in regions. But for having them only win a match or two to get the finals...come on now you know better than that.

I admit, I didn't actually know that. Guess I just make the incorrect assumption that all the "thread turmoil" actually has a basis in reality.
"telegenic"... cool word! I wanted to think that you made that up. But it's in the dictionary.
I like Putnam, I actually met him once, great guy. But yes, you are right, he may not be the most telegenic guy out there.

Seedings are one thing, byes are another. I can see the point of qualifiers for professional events - e.g. the top 16 seeds are entered automatically, and a qualifying event decides the other 16 entrants. If it's a match or two to get to the finals then I can see your point, though.
They may have had a talk but it won't matter. When thinking of Earl and the Cup, I'm reminded of A Few Good Men.... I can see everyone sitting around discussing this with Earl and he jumps up like Col. Jessup and screams "Deep down inside you want me on that wall.. You need me on that wall."
Also, I'm coming back to the game after a 10 year layoff and I've watched a lot of streaming in the past few months. There has been a lot of good pool played but if the chips were on the line and we needed someone to step up and stab somebody... You'd look to Earl. Don't know how you wouldn't have him on the team. Personally, if he is not on there, I won't be watching.

a week ago I decided exactly that. not that it will make any difference that I won't watch........but, I mean really.....if it is not earl I believe that it would be based on personality conflicts only and that is not a good enough reason when WE NEED THE WIN! :thumbup:
All products need a selling point. Matchroom just announced theirs in EARL :thumbup:

Euro Selection. Makes a mock of being current 9 Ball WC. All that training, preparation, practice and sweat for what...

Thats what seeding is, basically giving them "byes" pass the early rounds.
What do you think seeding is?
