What's the difference between the Pan Am's and the Worlds?

Also, is Mundials the same as the Worlds?

Mundials = Worlds
Worlds is the largest bjj tournament, and the most prestigious for gi. Worlds has only weight classes, but no age-separated classes.

Pan Ams is another gi tournament. It's not as prestigious, but it's one of the larger tournaments. It has weight classes and age-based separation if you want to compete with people in your own age group.

Pan Ams and Worlds generally have the same group of core competitors but a large varying group that come to one or the other. Worlds generally is harder but this year, my division at the Pan Ams looks to be more difficult than the Worlds

Dec '01 is the oldest join date possible. I signed up on Dec 17th 2001 on THIS server, but I've actually been posting on Sherdog since 2000.

I guess it's just surprising that such a basic question would come from an old school poster. However, you are probably not in F12 much.
