	Definition of World Series - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in North America, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winner of the American League and the pennant winner of the National League.
		Prior to 1969, teams finishing in the first division, or top half of the leagues' standings, received such shares; today only the teams finishing in second place in their division but not earning a wild card receive them, because there are more divisions and each division is smaller.
		Currently, Major League Baseball, in cooperation with the IBAF, is trying to institute a World Cup of Baseball, to be held at least quadrennially during the Northern Hemisphere winter at a warm-weather site, to serve as a true world championship of national baseball teams.

	1975 Rugby League World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seventh Rugby League World Cup was held in 1975.
		The format differed radically from that employed in pervious competitions; no one country hosted the matches, which were spread out around the world over a period of just over 8 months.
		No final was held, with Australia being deemed the champions by virtue of finishing top of the table but as Australia had not beaten England to win the cup, a final challenge was hastily arranged with Australia running out 25-0 winners.

	Sporting Life - Rugby League: World Cup 2000
		The idea of a rugby league world championship was first mooted as far back as 1933 by France, who tried repeatedly to get the tournament off the ground before finally succeeding in 1954.
		The second tournament was staged, in a league format, in Australia three years later and the host nation claimed the spoils as the only unbeaten team.
		The World Cup was held in England for the first time in 1960 and, fittingly, Great Britain won back the crown, only for Australia to regain possession eight years later when they beat France in the final in Sydney.
