Hmmmm, 10 countries to participate (so far), but only four were listed - five - if Iran is included in the list.
Will the foreign female players have to wear head scarves, even if this insults their religious beliefs or personal political beliefs?
Interesting that the prize fund is in the Great Satan's U.S. dollars...guess there's still some things we're good for, heh?
