This doesn't quite cover the different facets of the discussion.
Another facet is how the name of the event shows the span of the event and its potential global impact. World Championship shows a much broader span and a deeper field of competition - just by its very name.
Regarding the international teams - they are part of our FIRST community, and regarding this particular topic - our FRC community. As teams continue to grow and develop in other countries, this is only going to grow and strengthen in impact.
