Question

Post by Proclaim »

I see references to "Internationals" and to "World Championship", is there a difference? If so, what is the difference? If not, why are we using two different descriptions?

It's two ways to say the same thing. The "Internationals" is the world championship match of IHMSA. But as far as I know "Internationals" is the official designation.

Correct answer. "World" is now the official name, but after 30 years in the game Internationals is what it will always be to me!
