I do recall hearing some rumor of an Israeli regional...although how that happened is beyond me, given the number of teams in the country (currently, according to my memory, zero). Of course, there could be a surge of rookies in there.

Actually, I'd find it somewhat interesting to see what would happen if you had a regional's worth of teams half a world away. Sure, the internet would let them see what Americans, Canadians, Brits, and Brazilians were doing, but even within this country we've got different styles of play among different regions. (It was really noted leading up to the Championship...see also: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=strategy ) So what happens when we don't have regional styles (like the Midwest's offense versus the Northeast's heavy D) clashing like that?

If any teams that compete at such a regional come to Atlanta, I'd be more than interested in seeing how they play the game.
