Programs that >enter _must_ be operated by the author or someone involved it the project. Don't do this. The greater the number of participants in the WCCC event, the better. The WCCC with the greatest number of participants will acquire the greater amount of prestige. One big swiss with plenty of rounds is ideal IMHO. The other thing you should not do is require that one of the programs authors attend. This type of rule limits participation for those who cannot afford to attend due money or time constraints. The less you do that limits participation, the better. Make sure you call it a WCCC event, since this will attract more participation and as a side benefit, compel the ICCA to do act more reasonably e.g. like hold its WC event outside of europe 50% of the time among other things. > >The top 3 entries from each tournament will be invited to attend the WCCC in >North America. > >Once a program wins a specific tournament it can not enter the ones after it. > >Time controls for the ICC events will be 120 mins with a 10 second increment. > >I have removed the book rule as there are so many people who use books by one >book author, so trying to restrict it would be insane to do. > >The WCCC would be held in Edmonton, August 1 - 4 2003.
