Teams are entered from the United States, Australia, Finland, Japan, Austria, France, new Zealand, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Canada, Hungary, South Africa, Croatia, Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden and the Czech Republic.
Tickets run $12.00 to $17.00 and are available at the World Arena box office, or on the internet.
