Welcome back Earl:
- Thread starter jascorpion
- Start date
Good question. But I suspect each day will start @ 1 pm local Vegas time (PST) since Urup is 5 - 6 hours ahead of us. Each day has been 5 matches, races to 5, each match lasting @ an hour (except Earl's matches will last 18 minutes).

I'm looking forward to this very much, I think both teams have some awesome players but USA is gonna bring it back home!
The last two times it was in Vegas, matches would start at 11am local time in Vegas, which corresponds to 7pm local in London (BSkyB's hometown). It would run for up to five hours, with five matches scheduled.
Sometimes, when one match was too long, they cancelled the last match of the day (2009, 2010). Sometimes, they changed the race from 6 to 5, back to 6 depending on the day (2010).
It's all about what can fit in 5 hours because these satellite links are pricey :smile:
Whatever happens this year though, I doubt they will cut the feed at any time !!!
Kool, thanks JP. I forgot I was on EST 'til I hop da plane to sin city and drink outta da Cup.
But yes, it's been a daytime event to maximize global viewership. Check your vacation time at work. Priorities my man! :grin:
I think we should play Europe, The Final Countdown.

Exactly! They're on our turf now! :grin-devilish:
I think all Team USA fans should blow on a kazoo when Team Europe walks out.
When Team USA walks out, they can play Hail to the Chief(s)!
Earl will be representing us.... what could possibly go wrong?
My sincere apologies to Mel Brooks.

Pool scene was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Team America needed a new player to restore its former glory
Where, oh where was he?
Where could that man be?
Manny looked around and Steinway found
the House Pro for you and me
And now it's springtime for Earl Strickland at 53!
The Calcutta buyers are happy and gay
Mike Wong was told he has to shoot at a faster pace
Look out Thorsten here comes your coupe de grace
Spring time for Earl Strickland at 53!
Winter for Mika and Daz
Springtime for Earl Strickland at 53!
Come on Earl fans, go into your dance
I wasn't born in Dusseldorf und that is why they call me Ralf
Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join Mosconi's party

that sucks. That means I can't watch any of it live. Why not move it later for an American audience (it is being played in the US this time) or at least move it to the weekend? I would at least be able to watch it live or maybe even drive to Vegas and attend it live.

Welcome back, make the one ball and you're practically out.
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those Mosconi dreams have remained and they're turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease Earl a lot cause we've got him on the spot,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

Adding to this, when other players games seem to have dropped a bit due to age etc,
Earls is still going strong and I figure that it won't drop for some time if any at all.
Earl is an asset to the Team. He is the lost or last player that they have been searching for.
The Circle is complete.
the uncle sam montage made my day 
ok, so hatch, rodney, earl.. pretty dicey picks if you ask me. all three of them can be brilliant, on a good day. if they slept well the night before the game, if rodneys and hatch's blood sugar levels are good, if earl isn't sharked by an imagined person in the crowd, etc, etc, then they can perform. but the european players can play consistant top-level pool. ice cold executioners.

It's about the best team we can put up. You could swap Hatch for Corey but that's about it. Earl is our best shot with Archer and Shane. I think there is a playing level change after these 3
