The tournament in Vienna is just an "International German game Tournament", no more no less, certainly not "World Wizard Championship"

World Champion

The only way to have a fair world champion is to have a local champions, then a country champion and then all those country champions playing in a final world championship in different locations!

How can you say one is a world champion when there are world class players in other countries or large online base that have not had the chance to participate?

My arguments

My point of view: no need to have champion at local, national level. Just allow EVERYONE to participate. The only way to do that is by THIS WEBSITE. Secondly, you choose a game that most of players could play: regular or magic. Thirdly, you should have fair rules. Not to sell my salad, but PINK RULES are THE FAIREST.

another point: US sends 2 players, Canada 2 players.

Are they really the best?

For Spain, Carles will find 1 or 2 players to represent Spain just by 1 tournament. Is it valid? No

So, it's not legit to call that "World championship"

Is it appropriate to call Wizard "World" Championship when it happens only in Europe with German game?
