Expansive grid Game: "Asian Championship"

The rules are like the radial game, a word starts in the center of the grid, words expand out of the middle. Unless the word is in a straight line from the center (or from a branch's purple square), it must associate with two words.

The difference is that an Expansive Grid Game must branch smaller grids at the four corners. The four corners are marked purple.

The purple squares in the main game and corresponding branch must be the same word. (and must be bold)

Game #1's starting word, Asian Championship was chosen via Random Article.
