Lukasz Szywala kicked off Europe's challenges choosing this innovative, prop-filled jump shot. With two cue balls frozen together, he stroked down in between them and jump each of them over a shaft. With a little help from the extra cues, he pockets a couple balls in the corner pockets and starts a chain reaction down the short rail to pocket one last ball. He executed it well, stretching the lead to 4. Jeanette Lee came up to try to replicate the shot, but stood little chance with her efforts. I simplified it in my Jump Split shot.

Laurance stuck with the props coming out with an alternating, four person golf ball bank shot. Each player had to bank an object ball cross corner using a golf ball as the cue ball. Using a regular cue ball would lead to a double kiss. Everyone on the Europe roster went through with ease. Tom Rossman helped all the members of team USA set the shot up. Following his instructions, they too completed the shot finally picking up a point.

Nikolaidis challenged with his own type of jump shot, this one also being a speed shot. First, he hits the cue ball so it goes three rails around the table. As it's travelling, he jumps seven object balls quickly over a block of wood into the corner pocket before the cue ball eventually joins them there. While the sight of seeing seven balls jumped so quickly was amazing, Nikolaidis was unable to make the shot. Rossman came up for USA's attempt and while quite speedy himself, wasn't accurate enough to make all the balls.

Pelinga countered with one of his specialties, a jump-masse shot. He pockets a ball in the corner pocket, jumps the cue ball over a wall of blocking balls and across the table, masses back two more rails and comes back to hit the rack and pocket the hanging ball. Similar to Nikolaidis' speed jump, this shot was extremely impressive even though Pelinga was unable to successfully complete it. Mike Massey, no stranger himself to power masses, couldn't pull another point back for the USA.

Laurance pulled out a partner shot with Nikolaidis for Europe's next challenge. Laurance tried to hit three balls to Nikolaidis, which he tried to jump through a rack resting on two posts of three chalks back in the corner pocket. With speed being important on Laurance's side and Nikolaidis needing to hit quick jump shots, there was too much complexity for them to complete the shot. Lee and Barthelette came up for the USA, but also found it to confounding.

Nikolaidis brought out one of his favorite props for his next shot, a spinning rack. This combined with a series of one-handed jump shots out of another rack in rhythmic fashion. Similar to his semifinal match, he was unable to fully demonstrate his expertise though, falling short in completing the challenge. Barthelette came up for team USA's attempt. He too was unsuccessful, but showed off some skill in coming close.

Needing only to make a shot to win, Pelinga didn't come with anything easy using this silicon masse shot. It's similar to the Rocket Masse (which I turned into the One Handed Rocket Masse) except is uses an extra blocking ball that the cue ball has to fight through and maintain enough spin to still get down the rail to the corner pocket. Pelinga couldn't come through though, leaving the slightest opening for the USA. Rossman came up, needing to make the shot to stay alive, and got a bit unlucky on his first attempt catching the point of the side pocket. A slight mishit on his final attempt ultimately doomed the USA and handed team Europe a deserved victory.
