    Don't know, my mates daughter has won the world championship in her class and she's only twelve. They (not her she isn't ready for that) are in Thailand fighting for world championship. Why isn't a sport that is so unforgiving not on the menu.

    Solution: Host permanent location on UN-sovereign territory, maintenance paid from participant contributions or direct UN budget.

    More practically, just rotate it between the countries with existing capacity and prior infrastructure.
