*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last weekโs edition of the practice tournament (nations league) had 16 countries represented. Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ represented by 7 players. Followed by Colombia ๐จ๐ด with 3 players. Then Benin ๐ง๐ฏ, Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ, Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ & the UK ๐ฌ๐ง represented by 2 players. The remaining countries: Belarus ๐ง๐พ, Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช, Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ and Kyrgyzstan ๐ฐ๐ฌ were represented by one player each.
This week there was one change to the nations league ranking order. The Benin ๐ง๐ฏ pulled ahead of France ๐ซ๐ท swapping places to 8th. Participation numbers where back to normal after the timing confusion from of the previous week.
With 11 editions to go, team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ continues to pull ahead with an increased 392 points lead against Colombia, the nearest contender. Team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌare not relenting, making sure their numbers compensate for the lack of top positions & thus points. As it is said there are many ways of skinning a cat.
