There's one point I don't see brought up neither in this email nor in the
response. It could be that the Ball was instituting in order for Hogwarts
students to socialize with foriegn students? I mean, yes, that would sort of
make it connected to the TW Tournament, but not exactly. It could be that
the ball is a random, one-time thing that Prof. Dumbledore or somebody else
thought of in order to make the students from different countries to spend
more time together.
