The problem is that I know no tournament today that is the micro world
championship.

As far as I know
The world championships after 1997 allow machines with more than one processor.

ssdf does a tournament with better programs but there are many versions of the
same program and in world championship I want to see only one version of every
program.

WBEC is the best tournament that we have for micro world championship(unlike the
example that you give when the top tennis players need to waste time and money
to come to your house here participation is free).

In tournament like graz programmers need to pay money for travelling so a lot of
programmers cannot come.

It is not a problem with WBEC.
