Thing is that the FISM is pretty much like the FIFA, apart from the fact that at FIFA gives each party (each football club) equal chances and rights, and there is quite a lot of transparancy in their case (even more than they actually would want).

However, both the FISM and the FIFA seem to have monopolies in their own fields, and all over the world too. They will always say that they want the best for their fields and they may actually believe themselves in saying so, but in the meantime there are major drawbacks that do in no way improve the art of magic or the sport of football (or soccer as some of you might call it).

For instance, Sepp Blatter (Mr. FIFA) is actually against an honest game of football with camera referees which would make mistakes of goals being given or rejected wrongly belong to the past, and later on even make yellow and red cards would end up being more factual. Almost every other sport has been made more honest in the past few years, but soccer apparently needs to stay dishonest and has to rely on just people with all their flaws. The FISM is just like that but as for not giving everyone an equal chance and as for their judging process, including but not limited to the way of doing research. Their jury's opinion is final and impossible to reconsider, similar to that of the FIFA, completely relying on people and just people, who I can guarantee make mistakes every now and then.

Anyhow, the FISM 2012 registrations have been closed for over a week now, so even if I should participate in the FISM World Championship, it'd actually be in 2015. Not something to worry about already, and definitely not after these posts.
