Effective February 20th the scheduler will be modified so that Regional accounts will only be scheduled against competition from their own region.
This means that you can win all the regional titles you want, but to win a world title it will either
a) be a vacant title
b) be held by someone from your own region
c) move your gym to the champs region, losing any regional titles you currently hold.
The upside to this is that regional titles are going to take on a lot more importance moving forward and it should foster some real competition in the regions.
To fight outside your region you'll have to subscribe and become a "Global" manager.
