*This would be one of those world championships that seems to only be held in the US.
Its an American thing. We hold a world championship and don’t invite the world – Baseball, Football, punkin chunking…
Its what we do.
On the other hand in golf and tennis, we hold our National Championship and invite the world, and then revere and honor the foreign competitors if they win.
Hey? If we only did things that made sense, we’d still be a British Colony.
