Fiddling at the Ballot Box??!!

As always I enjoyed this month’s Country by Country tournament.

I noticed in the results however that the top 3 were separated by a particularly slender margin (US on 57.53 just 0.01 ahead of both 2nd and 3rd place).

I was very satisfied with my 60.19%, but surprised to see myself logged as representing the US team!

I always represent India in the C by C (though was in the UK when I registered if that has any bearing). I have no connection to the US. Correcting for this would slightly reduce the US average score and may impact the overall standing.

Not wishing to trigger an international, diplomatic incident, but could I please demand a recount!

Looks like there was a glitch this month, lots of people were assigned to the US clan instead of their proper countries.

We use the country associated with the registration IP, not the country people put in their profiles or the IP when they play. And we use a third-party service (MaxMind) to look up the IP location.

Unfortunately we don't save the registration IP anywhere, so I can't easily check whether the problem with your IP has cleared up.

We're not sure what the problem last week was, but it looks it's cleared up now. I just looked up the IP you were using when you registered last week, and it now returns UK (and your current IP returns India). So it looks like you should be put in the correct country next month.
