my bad, I missed that distinction. I've gotta learn to read more carefully!

I edited my post to make my intent more clear. I was just being a pain in the rear to Alex.

From various web searches:

The tournament itself is called the Championships. The title you get when you win is called the championship****. Reading in further detail, the plural form refers to becoming a champion in a tournament, versus defeating the reigning champion as in boxing.

So the banner says you're the winner of the Championships, which is correct.

**** as in, "Lebron never brought a championship to Cleveland"

I await the renaming of St. Louis to the FIRST Championships Event. :-P
