So they wear shin guards... . I asked about the gear earlier but finally got some good answers here. Thanks for the info.Rules and summary.
Im actually extremely excited about this, been reading up on it a bit last few days. I couldnt find a list of the teams anywhere tho, you have one? Like rosters etc.

This immaf looks promising - except the name - couldnt they have been a council, since immac is a better name?
Bootsy, any news on the Brazilian team?
Update: Only one Brazilian made it through after only a single passport was returned. Amanda Ribas is apparently the only Brazilian to make it through.
The Romanians were found. So at least some positive news to go with the disappointing news.
Thank you. Sucks that we won't get many America vs. Brazil finals.
I have no idea who any of those guys are, but I imagine they'll be in the UFC within a year or so
After successfully concluding the national tryouts last month, the Polish MMA Federation now has everything in order for the departure of their national team to the IMMAF World Championships in Las Vegas. The last step of the arrangements was an extensive briefing that included a trip to The United States’ embassy in Poland, some more training at AWF Warsaw and, finally, a well-deserved dinner. Now everyone is ready to board towards the next challenge, reportedly the team is looking forward to reap glory in foreign lands.
The Polish team consists of: Alexander Milczarek, Kacper Formela, Lukasz Siwiec, Karol Linoswki and Marcin Kalata. Head Coach is PLMMAF President Miroslaw Okninski and Team Leader is Pawel Harasim. Along for the journey the Polish team has the support of their community and among them Polish Professional MMA athlete Krzyszrof Jotko, who has sent a message of support over video to his fellow countrymen, promising to keep his fingers crossed for their success in Nevada.
