Yes, It's that time again......

This will be the 6th annual running of this event in the Shed.

Currently Europe are ahead with 3 wins to 2 against USA

The usual 9 ball format, singles, scotch doubles, triples, quads etc. etc.

Same format as 2010/2011 - 5 man teams.

Stick your name down if interested, last years players will get first refusal then I will do a random draw for the remaining places.

Captains last year were SeniorHustler and Blackballed, Do both of these wish to stand again?

The Captains may not use the same pair twice. There are seven doubles matches and a possible 10 pairings.

How does this differ from the REAL Mosconi?

1) We use a 7 foot table and smaller balls.
2) Jump shots are not allowed. So no silly cues needed.
3) No 30 second time clock used. Take your time, hurry up!
4) Shorter matches, Race to 2 Single, 3 for team games.
5) No illegal breaks if less than 3 balls pass the baulk line.
6) Players must drink, over night stays are welcome if you drive over.
7) Players will bring their own drinks. (Shots as well)
8) Losing players are required to drink a shot.
9) No Live audience (No room in the shed) ShedCam viewers only please.
10) If you drive then expect to get force fed shorts....
