Was there an official championship in P.O.W.?

I'd say yes.
But, I'm trying to remember if it's mentioned specifically in the COTG:Genesis book. I don't think it is.
I also don't think it was ever specifically mentioned in Early Classics, so if you decide to use it, I'm sure any sort of backstory you want to give it would work just fine.

I stand corrected!
Neily and Rock are experts on the P.O.W. era so I would turn all answering over to them.

Isn't it funny how you can never remember the stuff you yourself wrote? I'm horrible that way. That's why I need fact-checkers like Mike to keep me straight. And it's also why I never enter any GalactiCon trivia contest!

The question is...who would be the handicapped ones?

With me on the team, I know the answer to that.

And it's also why I never enter any GalactiCon trivia contest! I definitely don't think this is uniqueto you, Mark. I saw Stephen King speak at a college on creative writing and he had a Q&A afterwards. There were literally dozens of fan-boys asking question about minutae and obscure details and King had this look on his face like, "You guys are the biggest bunch of loser ever..just read the books, k?" Eventually he said that he kept free-hand notebooks where he wrote down any details that he might want to reference later but that weren't essential to his storlyines. I do the same with my fed (like if I introduce a wrestler's theme song, etc.) I'm sure there's a bunch of details that you and Osk and Tom have thrown out there that only the the biggest GWF fan-boys would remember.

This band I've heard some buzz about named Throwing Toasters has a song on the topic of fan-boyness called "Living @ Home." Very funny and appropriate to this thread, because Mother needs meeeeeeeeeeeee!

Had to jump in on this: I've seen King say that also. And the fact is I love it that loyal promoters know GWF history inside out. I appreciate that and am very impressed. I love CotG too. But as a creator I love it in a different way; it doesn't show in attention to story details over the long run, although in the short run I totally immerse myself in the mythology when I'm writing a new edition. Maybe it's due to that total immersion that I need to get safely away when it's finished! It may be different for Kris and Mark, but that's pretty much how it is for me.

No, that's pretty much how it is for me, too!
Although I can say I remember my own stuff better than Tom's or Kris's, for some reason.
