Countries represented at the Global Round will include Australia, Brunei, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Korea, Lebanon, Malaysia, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the UAE, the UK, Uganda, the USA, and Vietnam.
