I like the idea but I would point out that this would mean that only the best
programs would meet up.  Paradoxically I beleive that it's the lower ranking
programs / programmers that get the biggest 'kick' out of meeting up.  So, as an
addition can I suggest that at the 'qualifiers event' there is also an open
event for 'Amateur World Champion' run in parallel.  I also think this would add
atmosphere to the occation - imagine if only Franz, Stefan, Ed, Christophe, Bob
were couped up in a hotel for a week - it would be much better with a few more
keenies.

Regards,

Steve
