We need to attract new teams from other regions so that there are at least 4 teams, and even better, 6, and in the most favorable scenario – 8.

3 from Russia, 2 from China, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Poland, WCL, Bulgarians + I'm sure someone else will join. That's already at least 10.

In my opinion, such a tournament can definitely be held: language, mentality, and distance are not obstacles here.

Language is a big problem. The solution is to have translators from each team during the matches. Mentality – the Chinese won't want an odd number of players on the team; religion doesn't allow it. And it's more difficult to determine the strongest with an even number of players, although this is a minor problem. Distance – the Chinese say they only have a good connection between themselves and Eastern European countries, and even then, not always.
Time – it took us and the Chinese a month and a half for 8 games. I admit that this is due to my poor organizational skills. But the time zone factor does play a role. So, games will be 90% only on weekends. But there are many resources; if there are 5 in a group, then everyone needs to play 4 games, and it's difficult to agree on a time, and then there are the semi-finals and finals. This is with the most optimal format. A round-robin format is impossible to play, and an Olympic-style format is not spectacular. I think, at best, the tournament will last 3 months. Otherwise, interest will fade. And there will inevitably be conflicts, which will contribute to the fading of interest.

We definitely need to establish common rules.

Good luck.

It is desirable to recruit not only strong players but also those who know English.

To gather the strongest, we will have to ignore language skills. Then, see above.

It is easier and more interesting to organize an individual World Championship
