IMHO, the countries which already have an PSS/SS shouldn't have their GPG event promoted to SS. There are currently 11 GPG events and 5 GP events. Among the 11 GPG events, there are 3 which already have an PSS/SS (ie, Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia). So there are 8 left.
Among the 8 GPG, we can promote 2 to SS. And from the existing 7 SS (ie, not including the PSS), we can relegate 2 to GPG.
But the only thing left is for the 8 organizers to come up with US$200,000. Who can come up with the money?
