The championship seems to be renamed in 2001. In 1999 and 2001 it seems like the Pan American was a championship for blind people, see here
[1]. The event now seems to be played as a qualifier for the world championship. This article needs proper context explaining this.

I changed my mind about splitting the table, since the 2007 edition is known as the 4th edition (
Spanish Chessbase's article with the logo of the tournament,
TWIC). I suspect that while numbering they skipped the 2008 and 2010 editions:
BrasilBase (which has all the records of the South American and Panamerican events) doesn't list them under the
World Championship cycle events, unlike all the other editions, but among the
Panamerican events, which don't qualify for the World Cup; maybe because their official name was Campeonato Panamericano-Continental instead of Campeonato Continental de las Americas like all the other editions. But in fact the 2008 and 2010 tournaments qualified one player each for the World Cup, and therefore, to me, they should be included under the "American Continental Chess Championship" section; I think it's better to add a note about 2008 and 2010 events. —
