It seems that we've managed to write a relatively long article about a team competition and not mention anything about team makeup. How many players on each team? The article doesn't say. By looking at the specifc articles for each nation's team, it seems that it was three originally and nowadays it is 4. But what about backup players? How many players can each team have on the side in order to replace someone if necessary? All of those are pertinent pieces of information for understanding this event that the article completely overlooks. Redux 13:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further questions arising from team makeup: What about the Williams' sisters?? Surely they represented US over the period from 2000 ... yet 2000 was the last time US won the Cup!!? What's happening there? Did they not represent the US at all over that period? Why has US won no cup over the past 13 years with the consistent stunning performances of the Williams' sisters available to the country??124.176.220.140 (talk) 10:17, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that in the map Crimea has been assigned to Russia. I do not thinks is correct in an Encyclopedia to implictly assume the position of one of the two conflict parties and therefore we should stick to the International Law, acoording to which the annexation has not been recognised. Otherwise we would create a precedence case for "nationalist point of views" for articles on any territorial dispute.

I would like to see some explanation of rules to do with how players are selected for ties such as for example why player A is playing player B. There are explanations of rules regarding the competition format in general but nothing that is specific to ties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.58.193.120 (talk) 12:15, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asigning wins to country that didn't win it.

So there are asigned to Czechia all wins even when it was part of Czechoslovakia. This is not correct because it is different country. So Czechoslovakia should be on its own as should be Czechia and Slovakia. Second thing is Russia and Soviet Union are different countries as well, so it should be separated and RTS should be separated as well, because as a result of doping it can't be counted as Russian win. 95.105.238.23 (talk) 20:40, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
