The 2010 Mosconi Cup gets underway this evening and you can keep up with all the action at Bet365.
The 2010 PartyCasino.com Mosconi Cup will take place from Thursday, December 9 to Sunday, December 12 at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.
To watch all the action from York Hall for free go to Bet365>live streaming>pool from 1900 GMT on Thursday evening.
The York Hall is the spiritual home of the Mosconi Cup and the tournament is returning to its roots this year after an eight-year absence with Europe and America battling out for the biggest prize in Pool.
There are a total of 21 matches in place to determine the destination of the famous solid silver trophy and this year there are a few changes in order to allow more players to play more matches. Successful partnerships in the doubles will be one-offs as no pairing can appear more than once.
The onus this year is firmly on the two captains - Johan Ruijsink and Nick Varner - to employ all their experience and plot a strategy that will win their side the Mosconi Cup.
Singles matches five and 20 will see the captains decide who plays for the opposition rather than their own teams.
Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn said: "In previous years, the captains understandably stuck with the winning partnerships, but in 2010 there will be no place to hide and all ten players will feel the full heat of battle.
"Similarly, everyone will have their nerve tested in singles play, rather than let the in-form experienced players carry the team. Picking the other team's man for a couple of games will involve real reverse psychology, so we will see which of the two captains makes the most of it."
With four days of play, there are 21 matches in total with one point for each match won. The first team to reach 11 points wins the 2010 PartyCasino.com Mosconi Cup.
