Which countries competed in this 'world' championship
that they won?

Ummm? *ALL* of the countries where they play football
with the properly shaped ball?

And how many would that be?

All of them. Any that have the talent and desire to participate.



Reminds me of the 13' skiff Australian titles that were held at Manly
16' Skiff Club
11 entries, 7 boats sailed, all from the Manly club.

I asked why they didn't just call it a world championship.

MIT used to have 5 boats of their own design. They were a Rhodes 18
hull, a 110 keel, and inboard rudder, plus some custom rigging and
flotation. They were called Cape Cod Techs, or CCT's. Each year they
held the Inter-Galactic CCT Championship.
