At least let the teams have a playoff! Russia Men at EUC 2019. Photo: Quentin Dupre La Tour — Focus Ultimate Earlier this month, WFDF announced that WUGC has been cancelled. Among other consequences of this decision, there is now no scheduled event between now and 2022 to determine bids for the next World Games, and WFDF has decided to use the most recent WUGC — in 2016 — as a qualifying event for the multi-sport event widely considered ultimate’s biggest global stage. This means that the following countries qualify for the World Games: United States (already given an auto-bid as the host country), Australia, Canada, Japan, Colombia, Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, I believe that at least one change to these qualifications should be made. WFDF should give the French bid to Russia, or at least give the neutral athletes the chance to play for it.
