After the 50th edition of this seasonโs Nations Online Oware League, 119 players representing 32 known & possibly several unknown national teams in total have participated so far. Again players from 9 known possibly unknown national teamsย participated in the last edition of the tournament. The teams with the most players are Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ (18). Followed by Benin ๐ง๐ฏ (13), Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ (12) & Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ (11) in 2nd, 3rd & 4th place respectively. Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ had the most players (8) participated in the last edition, and got the most points, 34,0 in total. Followed by Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ (4) players participating, who got 19.5 points &ย Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ also with (4) players representing who accumulated 12.0 points. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟwith 2 players in 4th position got 8.0 points. Benin ๐ง๐ฏ with 1 player came in 5th positionย and got 3.0 points.
Team Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ with 18 players, has further stretched its lead to 1203.5 points, an increased lead of 477.0 points ahead of Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ last seasonโs winner. Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ in 2nd position with 726.5 points, has a reduced lead over Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ at 75.0 points. With an equal number of players representing both countries team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ is not making it next to impossible for Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ with 651.5 points accumulated by 12 players & in 3rd position to catch up. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ is still holding its own with 4 players in 4th position with 384.5 points. Whilst Benin ๐ง๐ฏ in 5th position with 13 players has amassed 276.5 points.
With 3 tournaments to go, based on past performance it is now near to impossible that any nation can recruit & field its players to rise to the change the top fifteen positioned teams. Approaching the last stretch, I doubt that the top 20 positions will change, but it ainโt over until it is over. The exception being position 8 is still in contention between Mexico ๐ฒ๐ฝ & the Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ, with just 3.5 points between them. Dedication & perseverance will resolve which team gets that position.

having surpassed last seasonโs total of 26 nations, with 32 known national teams, we are in record breaking territory. Letโs double our efforts to get players from other nations to participate in remaining tournaments of this league and make it past 35 nations.
