No, someone WILL beat them.

So Japan would hold their own "nationals," then send their top teams to the U.S.? Not sure how that would end up working out.

Guys, it's pretty obvious that North Dakota is taking the nation by storm. Clearly.

Japan is a lot smaller than the U.S., though. I don't know if I'd like this move, it might permanently set KS to one team.

I have the right mind to shout "GO INDIANA!", but I will restrain myself for conversatrional purposes.

Maybe Japan will hold a different competition of about, Idk, 30 teams and find which will go to nationals in U.S.?

I don't have that kind of modesty. NEW YORK FOR THE WIN!

I guess it would work better if it was a separate competition, imagine translating events into Japanese...

Don't a lot of people in Japan speak English? If so, then that could be a prerequisite for joining.
