OW Global Explorer Areas and Regions

The rules of OW Global Explorer RTW rules states as follows: "Travel must include a point in Area 1, Area 2, and Area 3" and "xGLOB34 - min 3, max 15, with no more than 4 in any single region".

How are the areas defined? If the areas are the same as regions, would it mean that I can not include more than 3 regions?

Areas are the Americas; Europe/Africa; and Asia/Pacific, IIRC.

1 area contains 2 regions.

e.g. TC1=N.Ameerica + S.America
TC2= asia(-ME) + oz
TC3= euro+ME + africa


and these 3 areas (TC=travel conference?)form a complete set of the earth surface

this is hard to classify, as the areas are roughly defined by longitudes.
antartica covers all longitudes, so i don't know where it sits.

i think the TCs are sub-group of the IATA members. so it is the call of the peguins.

Antarctica is T3.5 Actually, it's not included because there are no commercial pax flights there and the zones are an IATA thing.
