*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 8 countries represented. Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ represented by 3 players. Followed by Benin ๐ง๐ฏ, Colombia ๐จ๐ด, Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ, Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ & the UK ๐ฌ๐ง represented by 2 players each. The remaining two countries: Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ & France ๐ซ๐ทwere represented by one player each.
This week there was one change to the nations league ranking order. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ pulled ahead of Kyrgyzstan ๐ฐ๐ฌ swapping places to 5th. Although participating countries were back to normal the number of countries represented halved from last weeks total.
With 10 editions to go, team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ continues to pull ahead with a slightly decreased 391.5 points lead against Colombia, the nearest contender. Team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ continues to consolidate its lead, making sure their numbers compensate for the lack of top positions & thus points.
We implore all members to take part in these practice tournaments. Donโt just wait for a championship to come around to familiarise yourself with the sign up process. For as has been shown, doing so once is not enough to guarantee you will be able to sign up on the day of a championship.
