Since this is our rookie year, this is our first time in Atlanta. It's gonna be SICK seeing all the foreign teams! And by foreign, I mean other than Canadians

Hey! What do you have against us Canadians? Haha just kidding! I'm so excited for Atlanta and especially for the teams from Israel. Everyone's so nice to us - I think it's because the only people that don't make Canadian jokes at us are the teams not from the US. Not that I have anything against US teams

I am sure that the Israeli teams will be in some good matches. Best of luck to all of you and I am sure we will be in the division for some of us.

Yes, there are teams from Brazil, there was a Brazilian regional on week 3.
The Israeli regional was on week 4.
There are also a couple of teams from the United Kingdom, one from the Netherlands, and i think that even one team from Africa! (Dean showed that out during his speech at the Israel Regional).
I think that in one of the regionals they even announced that next year New Zealand is joining us =]

Dean went to Isreal? That's pretty cool he went to their regional.

It's the second time he came. He has also been in Israel at 2005.
After the regional, a meeting with president etc., Dean had a flight to the Hawaii Regional - some distance =]

36 teams competed this year (6 rookies, 30 veterans), and 6 won awards which qualify them for the championship.

All 6 qualifying teams are attending the championship (yey!

)
