What do you think about this?

1) For whom is it cooler, and cooler in what way? - It's the same argument as a stick with two ends...
2) Don't like it? ... then what? Don't participate, or where were you before, in part 2, and why didn't you promote/suggest your ideas to the person who's organizing this?
3) a) Where were you before, part III?
b) Well, prove it... beat 15 weak players in a single match who are in the selection process; they won't be a hindrance to you.
4) What, what, but I've always been against this, HMM should be for fun, and NOT for selfish purposes.

Regarding the tournament, before suggesting a snowboarding tournament to skiers, you need to teach them how to snowboard (this is for foreigners).

An alternative to the World Championship: a tournament with open registration from any resource/country, without limiting the number of participants (but with a deadline for the start of the tournament/rounds) + advertising/persuasion/negotiations, etc., to attract players (and decide who to invite, skiers or skateboarders).

Otherwise, it's just GL.
