Well, I think we've reached the point where I usually ask how many other countries take part in this alleged "world" series.

It IS the 2008 NCAA Championship playoffs for softball.

And then someone (Tom, is that you?) follow up with how this really isn't a "series" at all.

Correct, it is a multi-stage double elimination tournament, mostly, with a 3 game series between the two finalists.

But, as the OP says, "World Series" as become a generic term for "diamond sports ball and bat game championship playoff, tournament, series or whatever format to give someone a trophy or ring at the end."
