    The Central American Region includes El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

    The Caribbean countries Aruba, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cuba, Dominican Republic, the Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands are combined in the Caribbean Region.

    South America is divided in two regions: South Region 1 with Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Venezuela and South Region 2 featuring Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

    The top 12 men and the top 12 women in each of the five regions at the end of the season will qualify for the "American Zone Ranking Final" scheduled for February 24 through 28, 2008. According to Mr. Guandique, PABCON will announce the venue soon.
