Again this year, I am posting the career Mosconi-Cup records of this year's players. The combined records for each player were compiled from individual-year match results on Wikipedia and my own records.
Team USA will enter the event with a combined 24 years of Cup experience, with 83% of that in Van Boening and Deuel. Team Europe has 16 years of Cup experience, but 75% of that is in Feijen alone. Team USA has one rookie, and Team Europe has two.
Method 1. Under this method, I counted a full win or loss for each player in each match (i.e., not splitting the point into fifths for teams matches or halves for doubles matches). So these numbers essentially answer the question: "In how many winning and losing matches has each player been involved?" [A record like 11-16 means 11 wins and 16 losses, not 11 wins out of 16 matches.]
Method 2. Another way of looking at the records is to count a full point for each player in a singles win or loss, half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss, and one-fifth of a point for each player in a team win or loss. So the following numbers essentially answer the question: "What numerical contribution has each player made to the overall Mosconi Cup match scores?"
