CIS 2017 in Volgograd.

I also made it home and even managed to get some sleep. As expected, the event was a great success; it was great to see everyone, both the veterans and the newcomers! I'm especially pleased that young dads are also getting involved in the tournament! It's wonderful that, in addition to the companions of our organizers and "cyber-athletes," a "VT-style Mata Hari" also attended the event, adding to the atmosphere. This time, they didn't even deceive us about the internet, which allowed us to at least somehow broadcast our session. To the dads who have aspirations about contributing and organizing things from afar – forget it. Offering suggestions without even being present and therefore not understanding the situation, and further misleading others, is a very bad idea. Anyone who wants to help should help with actions, not just talk on the forum. The only thing I can say to future organizers regarding this is that if the question arises about choosing a location closer to the city (with good internet) or further away (but slightly more convenient, nicer, and with a more rustic feel, etc.), it's better to choose a location closer to the city (this applies not only to broadcasts but also to the possibility of going into the city more often, which is, of course, not as important or interesting for the organizers, but very important for those who are traveling).
I'll write more about the games in the tournament later. Thank you very much to everyone who attended!
