After the 50th edition of this season’s 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 teams participated in the last edition of the tournament. The teams with the most players are Ghana 🇬🇭 (18). Followed by Benin 🇧🇯 (13), Nigeria 🇳🇬 (12) & Uganda 🇺🇬 (11) in 2nd, 3rd & 4th place respectively. Ghana 🇬🇭 had the most players (8) participated in the last edition, and got the most points, 34,0 in total. Followed by Nigeria 🇳🇬 (4) players participating, who got 19.5 points & Uganda 🇺🇬 also with (4) players representing who accumulated 12.0 points. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿with 2 players in 4th position got 8.0 points. Benin 🇧🇯 with 1 player came in 5th position and got 3.0 points.
Team Ghana 🇬🇭 with 18 players, has further stretched its lead to 1203.5 points, an increased lead of 477.0 points ahead of Uganda 🇺🇬 last season’s winner. Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2nd position with 726.5 points, has a reduced lead over Nigeria 🇳🇬 at 75.0 points. With an equal number of players representing both countries team Uganda 🇺🇬 is not making it next to impossible for Nigeria 🇳🇬 with 651.5 points accumulated by 12 players & in 3rd position to catch up. Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is still holding its own with 4 players in 4th position with 384.5 points. Whilst Benin 🇧🇯 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 ain’t over until it is over. The exception being position 8 is still in contention between Mexico 🇲🇽 & the Czech Republic 🇨🇿, with just 3.5 points between them. Dedication & perseverance will resolve which team gets that position.
