Should the Mens Club league have a unified post-collegiate national championship?

There has been discussion of having a national post-collegiate club tournament played with regional champions- would this be a good idea? What about rule differences? The PNCLL plays International rules, where almost all other clubs play adopted NCAA rules...
Absolutely
Haven't the women had a national tournament for years? Bringing more exposure to post-collegiate lacrosse is a good thing.
As for the rules, there really aren't that many differences between the NCAA and international rules as it is. The only real biggies are the lack of alternating possession in int'l, and the 10-second clear, or 20-second, or whatever they just changed it to. Most teams in this league clear in less than 10 seconds anyway. So I'm all for it.
unified club championship
One of the cool things about the men's club championship idea, is it unifies all the "title holders" everywhere. One of the difficult things in supporting that, is the commitment to playing somewhere, where everyone has to travel AND it has to be held close to the Summer. Currently, one of the strongest organizations is pushing to have a club championship where they will manage the experience. If that weren't enough, they also want everyone to fly to Baltimore to play the championship. What do you guys think about that?
