Taped at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, CT. Starts at 3:30 PM
eastern. Two Semis plus the Final. Hope it's the men's version. I
just spotted it in the TV schedule.

You didn't miss anything if you didn't get to watch the 3 hours. The
play was relatively good till the sudden death final deciding match.
Mika and Appleton (from the UK) dogged shots unbelievably when the
prospect of losing the $50,000 winner-take-all prize money loomed over
every shot.
It's disturbing that either few Americans are chosen in recent years
to play in this event or the U.S. players who are chosen don't make it
to the semis and final games. I'm sure it's a nice marketing
development where the promoters can feel (perhaps mistakenly) that the
DVDs and rights to re-broadcast will sell better overseas with only
foreign players visible.
