With only a few weeks left for a team to earn their spot in the second playing of the UL International Crown, the Republic of Korea has a firm hold on the top spot in the standings with the United States in a close second.

The eight competing countries will be finalized by the combined rankings of the top four players from each country as of April 4. Countries must have a minimum of four ranked players to be eligible. Even though the countries are determined at that time, the final field of 32 players won’t be named until the rankings of June 13.

While there have been no significant movements between countries in the top-8, China continues to edge closer to the eighth spot in the team standings now only 13 points from overtaking Team Sweden in the standings. Shanshan Feng continues to hold the top spot for the team.

There continues to be movement on the bubble for Thailand, where Nontaya Srisawang and Thidapa Suwannapura have traded position over the past month. Other players to watch on the bubble for teams Republic of Korea, United States and Japan are In Gee Chun, Alison Lee and Ayaka Watanabe all sitting in the top bubble spot within a few points of taking that fourth position on the team.
