As you tear through Dione Wessels' reports from the All Nations Challenge, you might be wondering just how this contest is run.

We had some questions, so we asked Dione Wessels to give a quick run down: "The format is round robin style; four teams compete each day in seven events. These are the same seven events.

There are two different pools, Pool A and Pool B. The best of team A after Friday will compete against the best of Team B in the finals. Team USA is in Pool A with UK, Canada, and the Netherlands. Team B is Ukraine, Germany, and Poland."
