Going to read over this. Have read some. At this point, we are/I am looking to add more permanent fixtures for the WJC. I'm tired of running it - don't have the time and yeah. Busy guy on here and in real life so there things that I can push off on others and help them succeed with it is much my forte here. Both @rjfryman and @Acydburn we'll be steering the ship moving forward as of right now (along with me lurking as a very minimalistic figure in the background) and have been in discussion to bring in some of the changes you also messaged such as a schedule, VSN partnership (which is slowly building - which is great to see. It'll take time for sure!), the commissioners (as mentioned) and some of the other things you mentioned such as rankings, rulebook etc are already things for the WJC that I brought to life when I rebooted the tournament.
Always looking at ways to build hype and agree that not many care about WJC. I can't imagine the amount of interest will go up too much as it's a heavily specific tournament for players etc. I would like to improve the experience though for those who are going through it and that when it's your time, it does add a little bit of fun to the career experience type of thing.
