You could make the event less susceptible to cheating by using a controlled
environment. One method would be to gather the participants in a few locations
in Europe, North America and maybe Asia. And then connect from there with the
other groups. Every location would have arbiters present and I'm sure that
they'll be watching each other as well :-). The chances of cheating would be
similar to that of "physical" events and there would be some personal
interaction as well.
