No. I don't think I will participate in this. If I thought that it would not give the impression that a chess match or a softball game or a table tennis match or a game of pocker or some other sport was the deciding factor on weighty issues of life perhaps I would.
I think there are a few people who want to prove that a game will show where the really ...[text shortened]... win - that's all.
But I'll personally play anyone who want to play me. Its just a game.

Was John Wayne smarter than Einstein? Or more adept at handling the 'weighty issues of life'?
This is a pretty weak excuse for not participating.

I fail to understand this.
I'm a relative newcomer to chess. I don't think any "team" would be well advized to have me on their side in a tournament of chess.
It may be a weak reason for not participating but please don't insist. I choose not to be in the tournament. That's all.
Have fun!!
