With plenty of chat on the boards about the recent edition of the Reyes Cup, what are people's thoughts on the next edition (and moving forwards), what would be most appealing to the fans?
 
i voted for the previous edition. at least they will have more pride as a team.

i see the problem that it excludes american players for the foreseeable future, but yea. play better in mosconi cup then.

team philippines vs MC winners is a 4th option, but that's excluding other asian players, with no way to get in.
 
People seem to be forgetting that it's important to make this event a commercial success.

If you do Phillippines vs ROW, then somebody like Duong is not going to play, and that means you lose the entire market of Vietnam.

Asia vs ROW means every single market is included, which means more broadcasters are interested, and more subscribers for WNT.

I know people don't like the commercial side of pool, but the more money in pool, the better it is for players.

World includes Vietnam, Taiwan, etc.

I would see Philippines vs World "today" as:

Any 5 top Filipinos

World:
1 Filler
2 Gorst
3-5 any of the below
Shane
Ko
Ko
Yapp
Duong
 
I went for Team Philippines vs Team Rest of Asia. Still, I can do without all of these options unless the most accomplished players are going to be featured. This match ....

Ko Ping Chung , Ko Pin Yi, Aloysius Yapp, YL Chang and Naoyuki Oi

vs

Johan Chua, Carlo Biado, Bernie Regalario, Jeff Roda, Lee Van Corteza

... would certainly hold my attention. Further, having a Team Philippines would make the name Reyes Cup more appropriate.
