The 2007 Weber Cup, took place from October 19 to 21 at the Barnsley Metrodome.
With the overall score standing at 4-3 to the Americans, there was everything to play for following the previous year’s nail-biting epic which saw the destiny of the trophy decided in the final few frames of the deciding match.
The Europeans were once again skippered by Sweden’s Tomas Leandersson who had opted for a Nordic influenced line-up which includes veteran Tore Torgersen of Norway, PBA star Mika Koivuniemi (Finland) playing in his second Weber Cup and 3-time EBT champion, Paul Moor (England). The new boy on the team was two-handed Finnish star Osku Palermaa, who at the time topped the EBT rankings.
For Team USA, Weber Cup stalwart Tim Mack again captained Team USA. He was joined by another Weber Cup veteran, Bill Hoffman and two of the PBA stars who helped secure the trophy in 2006, as Chris Barnes and Tommy Jones made their second appearances in the competition. The American debutant was PBA Player of the Year Doug Kent, and PBA Denny's World Championship titlist.
