I think the key is that you can't have a true world championship when travel problems or restrictions could possible exclude top players. International travel is expensive.

World championships exist in other games and sports despite the geographic obstacles. Are they not "true"?

I would rephrase what you say as follows: Given that there isn't enough money in the backgammon world, we might be able to attract more strong players if we go online.
