After the 49th edition of this seasonโs Nations Online Oware League, 115 players representing 31 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 still remains Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ (18). Followed by Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ (12) & Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ (11) in 2nd & 3rd place respectively. Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ had the most players (5) participated in the last edition, and got the most points, 23.5 in total. Followed by Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌย who got 18.5 points &ย Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ with 12.0 points. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ with 2 players in 5th position got 5.5 points. Benin ๐ง๐ฏ with 1 player came in 6th positionย and got 4.0 points.
Team Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ with 18 players, has further stretched its lead to 1169.5 points, an increased lead of 455.0 points ahead of Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ last seasonโs winner. Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ in 2nd position with 714.5 points, has a slightly decreased lead over Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ at 84.5 points. It is not making it easy for Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ with 630.0 points accumulated by 12 players & in 3rd position by consistently fielding more players than Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ, though they are less skilled. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ is still holding its own with 4 players in 4th position with 376.5 points. Whilst Benin ๐ง๐ฏ in 5th position with 11 players has amassed 273.5 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 to three positioned teams. Approaching the last stretch, I doubt that the top 7 positions will change, but it ainโt over until it is over. However position 8 is still in contention between Mexico ๐ฒ๐ฝ & the Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ, dedication will resolve which team gets that position.

having surpassed last seasonโs total of 26 nations, with 31 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.
