Jayson's the only debutant this year, i've said in the previous Mosconi threads that he would be in team at some point so glad to see him in the team, One of the best players i've ever faced competitively and i'm sure he'll play well. Ouschan and Woodward played last year but I don't remember much about them. |

Mark Wilson is USA Captain, think he's been captain for a while. Marcus Chamat is European captain.

No Ralf Souquet or Johnny Archer and of course, well all miss Earl |

I think 9 ball as a sports gone backwards a bit in terms of popularity and tv time from it's peak in the early 00's.
You used to get the world champs live on Sky Sports (back when Matchroom were involved in it I think) and got to see all the big players even ones from Asia who you hadn't seen before (Reyes, Bustamante et al) Now you only really get the Mosconi once a year and you don't know the players as well. |

According to SkySports.com - this was supposed to be simulcast on SSMix - but we've got nothing but prerecords all night. What's occurrin'?

Have to say, the standard front TV angle is terrible, half the screen the table. Compared it to previous years it's obvious. |

Been to the last 2 Vegas events, 2013 there was no 4th day, didn't expect a refund. 2014 Blackpool only saw the last day and only a couple of matches. No complaints from me.
