1. you need the support of all the servers out there (which atm is not the case)
i dont understand this statement actually
---
2. you need to consider that the servers out there are much different with very different fighting styles which lead to advantages for vanilla servers and disadvantages for modded servers with different gameplay (not really fair to those fighters which have not played vanilla FL for ages... no matter how good they really are)
yes im very well aware of that, but it can be 'voted' if there should b some mod or not

3. such tournaments have been tried several years ago (with similar structure) but with close to 0 success
yes im aware of that too, but generaly that is due to ADMINS which are SCARED to participate in such event, now this is heavy statement however if u look abit under things you will realised thats its only fear from 'unbeatable' admins to particpate on server where they cant abuse admin powers which they use on thair own boxes

4. there are many national servers out there... the players on those servers have good pings... but now try to tell players of an US server to fight on a server which is located in europe and you will see that the US players have absolutly no chance to win due to the crappy connection between US and Europe (another issue where fairness is not guaranteed)
this is good point, however it is not unsolvable, generaly it can b organised in 'continent' manner, then if there is need to decide which.... (ie europe vs asia 1vs1 player match) ....
here is simple solution, with 17000 possible dots on earth its is not hard to find place where 2 connections have same network matrix, and simply asking someone to run server to decide between two players on two different continents.
basicaly anyone can host for serving fiew pvps, that doesnt require high bandwidth, or expensive box... any connection would do

5. a global event does imply that it is really global and not just between a few servers
well yes, thast why i posted it here to see what would leading server admins, leading clans, players and all community has to suggest about it..

6. how do you want to control that players dont attent the fight for more than one server? (you have absolutly no control over that)
i do not understand this point too, please give some more explanation.
