The tournament starts today in Ecuador with 48 players representing 22 countries. The US competitors, Mazin Shooni and Pedro Piedrabuena, face stiff competition in the opening qualifier round having been put in flights with Blomdahl and Jaspers, respectively. Only one player from each of sixteen flights of three will advance to the knockout tournament.
Two trivia questions:
1. Which country has the most players in this year's tournament? (Belgium has five players, but that is not the most.)
2. Blomdahl has won the World Championship five times. Who has won the most World Championships (an easy question) and how many times has he won that title (much harder)?
