So if an organization names itself "international", then it can hold a world championship? The NBA, NHL, and MLB all have teams from multiple countries, so they are international, despite what they named themselves several decades ago when they _were_ national. One of these leagues (I think MLB) considered having teams from somewhere in Asia (I think China) a while back. The NFL considered having teams from Canada or even England. Obviously not everything is in the name. So what is it that gives an organization the right/priveledge of calling it's event the world championship?
