Dear friends, first of all best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous year 2022. Let's hope we will have a great year and things will slowly be back to normal.
Before talking about the rankings, please note that the FISTF season starts now on January 1. Therefore, if you have transfers to announce or is you see that some players are reported under a wrong club, just send me a private message. Keep in mind that in many cases, we have players having different clubs in FISTF and WASPA circuits and this is fine for me.

| Small Subbuteo event in Yokohama, Japan |
We are glad to see Japan back in the circuit. This is great news! Japan is one of the emerging nations in the table football scene outside Europe and it's great to see a tournament took place in Yokohama under WASPA banner a few days ago.
In December, England, Italy and Australia have been the most active nations but we were glad to also see WASPA tournaments in Wales, Belgium, the US, South Africa, Northern Ireland and Greece. Special mention for the Rebels Genova in Italy who run tournaments only for juniors, wich is great.

| Perth players in Australia |
One of your dreams for 2022 will be some nations back in the circuit and we are sure that with a bit of work, we could easily see tournaments in Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Russia, Portugal, Argentina, Indonesia, Peru, Israël,...
Another important note is about people moaning about "big scores" in the games between experienced players and novices. Please keep in mind the WASPA circuit is there to help local development. In belgium we have a rule stating that the final score of an individual game can not be higher than 5-0. This is something that should be implemented everywhere to prevent some sad situations.
