But if that argument were sufficient, I could replace "North America" with "Santa Barbara" and achieve the same result, which I am sure everyone would agree is absurd. Somehow--and I realize appreciating the value of nuance can be difficult--there is some fuzzy boundary where you actually feel like the terms have meaning and the statement isn't lying. My maybe-naive assumption is that the original statement of having the tournaments be advertised, solicited, and maybe even held in various places around the world would make that feel comfortable.
