Can 国体 refer to "prefectural" as well as "national"?


If `国体` is used in conjunction with a prefecture name like
[山口国体](http://www.choruru.pref.yamaguchi.lg.jp/), does that mean "The National
Athletic Meet that is being held in Yamaguchi", or the "The Yamaguchi
Prefectural Athletic Meet"?

The only definition I can find for `国体` (in the context of a sports meet) is
that it's the _National_ Athletic Meet
([goo](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/srch/all/%E5%9B%BD%E4%BD%93/m0u/)), but `国`
can have a meaning of "region" or "hometown" as well as "nation"
([goo](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/srch/all/%E5%9B%BD/m0u/)), so I'm unsure as
to what it can mean in this context.




As the dictionary says, 国体 in this context is an abbreviation of 国民体育大会
([National Sports
Festival](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Sports_Festival_of_Japan)).
山口国体 means the National Sports Festival held in Yamaguchi, in the same way as
“London Olympics” means the Olympic Games held in London.
