It just seems kind of weird to change the name of an event in the past because the name is different now. It's like having a regional called the [Some Company A] Regional for one year, and then called the [Different Company B] Regional the next year; all while demanding that you must refer to the regional as the Company B Regional and treat it as it it was always called the Company B Regional.
I agree. I would tend to tag older ones personally with Nationals, and Newer ones with "Championship Event".
But, I would like to see a year added into the Tagging name standard, and also a link so when I look up just "nationals" or "championship event" all years big events come up. (From the 1 event in 1992, to the "Nationals" in Epcot, to the "Championship Event" in Houston, and Atlanta.)

Also, to go into semantics, and throw a curve ball into the mix, wouldn't the Israeli regional (at least last year when it was just open to Israeli teams) be considered a Nationals event, and yet also technically a regional event?
