The scenario was that Harry was entered as the champion for a phantom 
fourth school (here is were the confundus charm came in, to confuse 
the cup into forgetting that there were only 3 schools in the 
tournament). As Harry would be the only representative of this school 
he would have to be chosen.

I would imagine that the whole triwizard set-up, besides making a 
thoroughly exciting read, was a method for Voldemort to prove his 
superiority over Dumbledore, Fudge and the rest of the good guys by 
snatching Harry from right in front of them while they were watching.
