First off in the world of sports(that is non robotics), the super bowl winner is called the world champion because all the teams in the world have chance to go it is just that all those teams happen to be in the US. Also I think that for all of us here in Northern Virginia, and DC area that it just might get a little confusing with there be 2 things called the Nationals. Personally i still slip into calling it Nationals, but usually in my team we refer to it as going to Atlanta, not champs or globals or WORC or whatever else people call it whether it is right or wrong.

Also if this is international how come all the Reigonals are in the US?(i know that next year this statement will be irrelevant because of the New Zeland Regional). I think that the only dignified ways of refering to it is by calling it Atlanta, Nationals, or the Championship.
