Additional Information |
|
All participants in this event gave their fees to charity and the event as a whole was staged to raise funds for the BBC’s Children in Need Appeal. Teams played in colours (Australia - Yellow; Great Britain - Red;
United States of America - Dark Blue), but did not have any tabards with
letters (i.e. 'GB'). To maintain consistency across the site, we include national abbreviations in
the results window above. |
