I'm a big hockey guy, and every year I love watching the World Juniors. That is where the idea for the
Global Amateur Championship came from. The GAC, however, is a bit more involved...
The GAC, in total, includes 128 nations split into 16 divisions of 8 teams each. The top-5 from each group advance into a single-elimination, 80-team playoff. Teams are only allowed to select players with zero days of service time across all leagues.
Past GAC champions: United States (7x), Dominican Republic (3x), Venezuela (once), Japan, France, Australia
