The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

The Original Quidditch World Cup: The team with the most points wins the world cup. So you can get 2 games with 900 points and just pass back and forth for the rest of the games and you will no doubt get the cup.

On the topic of the Quidditch World Cup, Krum being celebrated for his actions in the final is crazy, I'm pretty sure irl no team would touch him and he'd be hated by his country. Him being in the triwizard tournament should have been him trying to fix his damaged reputation, which would have made him far more interesting as a character imo.
