Go up one level in this thread

Still, what is meant is that without clearer

the same exact thing can be said for the WCCC just ended in Israel
there was no qualifying system or process
anyone with $500 in their pockets could enter a program
DeKONINGS King program(certainly considered one of the strongest programs
today)did not even bother to compete

a title of "World Champion " for anything ,should have some qualifying system
for it to mean anything
