The wildcard spots have been announced

So who are the 5 for each side? Morris and Bergman are great players. USA really has a chance.Rodney played poorly last time. I hope the rumors that he was dumping are false
 
USA USA Go USA

I think you can make the argument for Bergman and Oscar. Oscar was ahead in points (not a lot), but I think Bergman plays a little better.

Either way, I think this is a really strong team, and I'm looking forward to seeing the boys take home the trophy this year!
 
What is the case or reason for Jumping over Oscar to get to Bergman ? Why didn't Bergman go to Kuwait to play his way to number 5 or even higher? In my opinion He knew already his Buddy Mark was going to pick him. No need to spend the money to go. There is to much History between the Two. Why not go down the list like he did last year? Don't believe one can make a case for Bergman bringing more to the team than Oscar. Especially when you have to skip Oscar to get to Bergman. Oscar gets screwed again .

Exactly this. Berg has been absent on the movie scene but wants an invite to the academy awards....
 
I certainly hope Mark had the stones to tell Oscar personally that he was being left off the team, prior to announcing it on FB. He owed him that much.

How could you "accept" selection to the cup based on your friendship with the captain like this??? As a player and friend of the captain. But, who is going to turn down a $10,000 to $20,000 jelly roll???

My spidey sense is tingling and the whole "Ethical Bells" have my ears ringing!!!

Now, you have to ask yourself or think there is some kind of BEEF between the two of them behind the snubbing??? Another issue is the possibility of kick backs, extremely unlikely!!! But, I hate seeing good people getting screwed.

The list means absolutely nothing after the first 3 ,, Begman is ahead in both money and BCA points and has a higher Fargo rate ,,

Or maybe Mark just thinks Bergman is the better player since points only matter for the top 3 spots.

But hey, this is AZBilliards. What fun would it be without folks trying to stir the pot?

Cream get the money!!! Dollar, Dollar bill Yall!

The snub would mean "Nothing" if there wasn't so much money involved and too be quite frank! In a capitalist society like the one we live in a $20,000 to $40,000 swing between the two players is "Note Worthy" and warranting comment! No stirring the pot as you insinuated.

Compare Education
Compare Legal Troubles
Compare Points
Compare Mosconi Cup Troubles

Then tell me what criteria supports

Morris over Oscar???

With that as your metric, then put the cherry on top with Bergman getting a jelly roll!!!

But, you mention these issues the selection created and everyone is supposed to be hush hush about it. Because god forbid, you get slapped with the label as "stirring the pot" on AZB!

A lot of people have said they'd pick Berg.

We all knew ahead of time captain would get the 2 wild card picks. Is it "fair" to Oscar? I'd say no. BUT the only spots guaranteed were 1st to 3rd.

I'm upset for Oscar - he made the effort and finished ahead, 31 points ahead of Justin.

I'm unaware of the backstory about them being friends.

Anyway, USA, USA, USA

Pretty simple ,, higher on money list 21 to 34 higher BCA rank 5 to 32 and higher Fargo 782 to 768 ,,
By every mesuerable standard Morris is the better player
And nobody in thier right mind would ever take Oscar over Morris in a big money set
What else do you need to know ?
