There will be 130 teams, representing 12 countries and four continents. It is quite an amazing feat for a small milltown struggling with the downturn in the forestry sector.
- There are 76 teams from Canada, including 37 from New Brunswick.
- There are 43 teams from the USA, including teams from as far away as Arizona, Oregon and Puerto Rico.
- There are 6 teams from Europe and three from the Caribbean (including Puerto Rico).
- Egypt's team represents Africa and Brazil represents South America.

I would say that that is more than a bit off topic, but I would direct you to the post I wrote just over a year ago indicating my withdrawal from commenting on New Brunswick politics.
More specifically, in response to a follow up question I said:
"My departure from commenting on NB politics has ZERO to do with the positions or actions of any political party. It is the result of a personal decision on my part to withdraw from partisanship for the time being due to some events in my personal life."
