Have the chess contests first run by country:
{country contestants meet first}
Top two from each country go to continent contest:
European
North American
South American
African {Are there any programs from this continent?}
Asian {Include Russia and the middle east, or maybe put Russia into Europe?}
Austrailan {And New Zealand}
Continent winner goes to world contest
I think it might be nice because geographic demarcations tend to spur interest.
Since the contests would initially be local, travel would not be as difficult.
If travel were impossible/highly impractical, it might be possible to have games
played via the internet, as supervised by some university staff when the games
are performed.
Since there would only be 6 continental winners (where the travel is very
expensive and it would not be sensible to play over the internet) perhaps they
could have their plane tickets paid for by a sponsoring organization.
With only 6 engines in the finals, it would not take an absurd amount of time to
complete it.
