Go up one level in this thread

Don't be duped into calling the tournament the North American Computer Chess
championship. Calling it anything less than a World Championship will only
lessen the prestige of the event and reduce sponsorship money. Calling it a
World Championship will insure greater participation by the commercials, since
if they fail to win the "other" WC, they can still win this one and that will
help their advertising. The winner of the other WC will participate to prevent
this and also participate to add a 2nd WC belt for their program. The more the
better.

Nobody corners the market on the World Championship name. If the other Wc does
not like it, tough! It serves them right for not holding it over here in the US.
Besides, on balance it will be good for computer chess.
