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. The career records of everyone who has ever played on either team can be found here: https://forums.azbilliards.com/thre...ne-who-has-ever-played-on-either-team.464772/.

Team USA will enter the event with a combined 31 years of Cup experience, with 74% (23 years) of that in Van Boening and Deuel. Team Europe has 11 years of Cup experience. Both teams have one rookie this year.

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?" [Note that a record like 15-19 means 15 wins and 19 losses, not 15 wins out of 19 matches.]

Team USA
• Shane Van Boening (13 yrs. -- 2007-2019) ..... 15-19 singles, 16-18 doubles, 5-8 teams, 36-45 total (winning percentage of 44%)​
• Corey Deuel (10 yrs. -- 2000-2002, 2006-2007, 2009-2010, 2014-2015, 2018) ..... 7-8 singles, 14-13 doubles, 2-0 trebles, 5-3 teams, 28-24 total (54%)​
• Skyler Woodward (5 yrs. -- 2015-2019) ..... 5-4 singles, 8-8 doubles, 2-3 teams, 15-15 total (50%)​
• Billy Thorpe (3 yrs. -- 2017-2019) ..... 3-2 singles, 3-5 doubles, 1-2 teams, 7-9 total (44%)​
• Chris Robinson (0 yrs. -- rookie)​
• Team USA Total ..... 30-33 singles, 41-44 doubles, 2-0 trebles, 13-16 teams, 86-93 total (48%)​
Team Europe
• Jayson Shaw (4 yrs. -- 2016-2019) ..... 5-5 singles, 6-4 doubles, 3-1 teams, 14-10 total (58%)​
• Albin Ouschan (3 yrs. -- 2015-2016, 2018) ..... 4-1 singles, 7-2 doubles, 2-1 teams, 13-4 total (76%)​
• Joshua Filler (2 yrs. -- 2017, 2019) ..... 5-1 singles, 2-2 doubles, 1-1 teams, 8-4 total (67%)​
• Eklent Kaçi (2 yrs. -- 2018-2019) ..... 3-1 singles, 1-5 doubles, 1-1 teams, 5-7 total (42%)​
• Fedor Gorst (0 yrs. -- rookie)​
• Team Europe Total ..... 17-8 singles, 16-13 doubles, 7-4 teams, 40-25 total (62%)​

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?"

Team USA
• Shane Van Boening (13 yrs.) ..... 15-19 singles, 8-9 doubles, 1.0-1.6 teams, 24.0-29.6 total (winning percentage of 45%)​
• Corey Deuel (10 yrs.) ..... 7-8 singles, 7-6.5 doubles, 0.7-0 trebles, 0.9-0.6 teams, 15.6-15.1 total (51%)​
• Skyler Woodward (5 yrs.) ..... 5-4 singles, 4-4 doubles, 0.4-0.6 teams, 9.4-8.6 total (52%)​
• Billy Thorpe (3 yrs.) ..... 3-2 singles, 1.5-2.5 doubles, 0.2-0.4 teams, 4.7-4.9 total (49%)​
• Chris Robinson (0 yrs. -- rookie)​
• Team USA Total ..... 30-33 singles, 20.5-22 doubles, 0.7-0 trebles, 2.5-3.2 teams, 53.7-58.2 total (48%)​
Team Europe
• Jayson Shaw (4 yrs.) ..... 5-5 singles, 3-2 doubles, 0.6-0.2 teams, 8.6-7.2 total (54%)​
• Albin Ouschan (3 yrs.) ..... 4-1 singles, 3.5-1.0 doubles, 0.4-0.2 teams, 7.9-2.2 total (78%)​
• Joshua Filler (2 yrs.) ..... 5-1 singles, 1.0-1.0 doubles, 0.2-0.2 teams, 6.2-2.2 total (74%)​
• Eklent Kaçi (2 yrs.) ..... 3-1 singles, 0.5-2.5 doubles, 0.2-0.2 teams, 3.7-3.7 total (50%)​
• Fedor Gorst (0 yrs. -- rookie)​
• Team Europe Total ..... 17-8 singles, 8.0-6.5 doubles, 1.4-0.8 teams, 26.4-15.3 total (63%)​

I love the optimism...

I did a search for similar threads to see the stats for prior years. Have you been posting the team stats every year..?

Yes, I've posted quite a bit on Mosconi Cup stats for quite a few years. Just go through the list of threads I have started and you'll find them.

I actually tried that... When I get to your user page I see this: "This member limits who may view their full profile."

Oh never mind... Not used to the search functionality on the new forum sw. Got it sorted...
