Oscar Dominguez (USA)

He has spent time at the top of the BCA points list and his performances in 2009 have earned him his spot in the competition.
Oscar is the son of player Ernesto Dominguez.
Dennis Hatch (USA)
Hatch will be making his Mosconi Cup debut in 2009 after winning a public vote in the first ever Mosconi Cup Idol competition.
Hatch is a former US Open runner-up and will be hoping his first experience on the Mosconi Cup is a winning one.
Shane Van Boening (USA)
Van Boening, a former US Open Champion, will be making his third Mosconi Cup appearance in 2009.
He has yet to be on a winning Mosconi team but Van Boening, who helped USA to victory in the 2008 World Cup of Pool, will be keen to put that right.
Darren Appleton (Europe)
Appleton will be making his Mosconi Cup debut this year but has already triumphed in Las Vegas in 2009 having won the World Pool Masters there in May.
Appleton is another European player to have held a world title having won the 10-ball last year.

Thorsten Hohmann (Europe)
