Send Oscar to the Cup as an Alternate

I thought Mark Wilson was asked once on ABR about alternates and he said Matchroom did not want to do that.

Regardless, Oscar, also in an ABR interview, made it clear he did not want any 2nd class role.
 
Why does there need to be an "alternate". I take 6 folks to the State Tourney, because like Jam said, someone gets sick, hungover, falls down the stairs, or, which is possible, just plays like shit and you need to substitute him. I'd rather have too many options that not enough.

Well in that case, why not just invite the whole gosh darn country?

The whole point of the cup is to put their top 5 against our top 5.

Someone gets sick? Sub in one of the other 4 eligible players.

LOLOL, that is hilarious.
The rules do not allow it and the 5 are not going to like giving up at least $2K of their paycheck

WTF send an alternate??

lmao yes sure

can you imagine the other 5 guys, "hey we are going to chop up your money so this dude that is moaning can come and pretend to be on the team"

and also I dont like duchaine he is a class ***** but the guy deserved his spot he got in the top 3
and yes it is shitty how last year wilson said he took sky and justin because he valued the rankings and they were 4,5 respectively. now this year oscar is 5th and gets overlooked. however i think most would agree justin is better than oscar.

i personally think its USA best playing 5 and i think euros are of course strong but shaw is untested in this enviroment and appleton had a shitty year seems on the downhill slope out to the pastures. think this be US best chance in years plus the way SVB playing he has to come good in the mosconi eventually
