*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last week’s edition of the practice tournament (nations league) had 8 countries represented. Uganda 🇺🇬 represented by 3 players. Followed by Benin 🇧🇯, Colombia 🇨🇴, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, Nigeria 🇳🇬 & the UK 🇬🇧 represented by 2 players each. The remaining two countries: Czech Republic 🇨🇿 & France 🇫🇷were represented by one player each.
This week there was one change to the nations league ranking order. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 pulled ahead of Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 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 🇺🇬 continues to pull ahead with a slightly decreased 391.5 points lead against Colombia, the nearest contender. Team Uganda 🇺🇬 continues to consolidate its lead, making sure their numbers compensate for the lack of top positions & thus points.
