Pretty self-explanatory.
You may find a great variety of the required ABC gear not only at diving shops but even at supermarkets and of course online, just a few clicks away. But not all fins, masks, and snorkels are fit to play UWR, to be honest, some sets are just hazardously trashy. The most expensive diving gear may also not be the best pick for rugby, but the best rugby kits won't disappoint in the sea either.
UWR Committee also got elected.

The Orcas helped us out as always and 3 of us got to play with the Serbian team. My plan was that we stay back and use the extra weight to top the defense in front of the goal, but that wasn't happening much.
The average difference in number of goals scored during the first 4 days (group matches) was 11.94. The largest difference belongs to the match between Norway and Great Britain, 52:0. It means Norway almost scored twice every minute, ouch! The average difference of the last 4 days (placement matches) is 5.81. The 50% drop in the score differences meant a lot more exciting matches with levelled opponents. During these days 8 matches ended with sudden death and 2 with penalty shootouts. Wow!
There are clear differences between the nations based on the background and culture of the game and it can be observed in the style they play.
To sum it up, it is a common opinion that The Empire Strikes Back is the best episode of the SW-saga. The organizers did splendid work to let countries from all around the globe show the best of their underwater rugby. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out! To be continued with the matches of the first half of the UWR World Championships.
