Not saying that it is necessarily the right thing to do for FRC, but there is precedent.
The champions league is the biggest thing to win right under the Euro and the World cup itself.

Qualifications are a bit more strict than that for the champions league as well. 3 teams from spain, 3 from germany, 3 from england, 2 from italy, 2 from france, 2 from portugual, and 1 from various other countries.

I think the best route would be to have one championship be for regional winners, and the other for chairmans, EI, rookie, etc.
