Sabretooth Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 it doesn't have India. The contest doesn't deserve to be held... But anyways, go win some gold. EDIT: This thing scares me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 doesn't seem to have the UK either... but their website is so badly designed I might just be missing it. Isn't it ironic? Dontcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 doesn't seem to have the UK either... ... France (Montbéliard), Belgium, England, Spain, Canada, United-States, Russia, Poland, Romania, Brazil, ... organise the International pre-selections on the November 18th and the 19th 2005 in order to participate to the finale in France on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th February 2006. I seem to remember England being part of the UK. You can even see UK mentioned in coupes post. Anyway, I think it's that the countries actually have to submit teams to get in.

coupes. Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Today, countries don't compete with one another. Preselections are being held around the world but the competitors compete against people from their ouw country. Today's winners from every country, will later meet for the final competition in France. So you can still root for me ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have no idea who the competitors are for the US, so I'll root for you even when you make it to France for the final competition. Good luck coupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
