#97: Virtual War

Trust me, war will not end any time soon. But could we settle disputes between people, groups or even countries, by a fair game?

Two parties must agree beforehand, that the outcome of a dispute will be finally decided by a classical game, a sports tournament, or a computer game. The game is overseen by a neutral party. 

The rules of war would still apply. A country would need to maintain and train a team of gamers, and the best prepared team would have an advantage.

I believe that any idea that works to prevent the loss of life and property caused by War is worth some attention.
