Open Championship of the Black Earth region.

Today is the second part of the answers to your questions. 1. Should I pay for the hotel in advance? No, you shouldn't. But it would still be better if you inform the organizers about your arrival in advance so that you can be placed with other Heroes players; otherwise, the hotel rooms might be occupied. Try to decide at least by next Friday. 2. Approximately how many people will participate in the championship? We can estimate. There are 6 local players: Nagan-4, Veland, Alexgrid, Cannabis, Lexa, and Lavren. Plus, one person from the company where we will be playing, Maxim, also wants to participate in the championship and can provide technical support in case of glitches; he's an excellent computer specialist. 3 people are coming from St. Petersburg. Horn called me and said that three players bought tickets: himself, Wicc, and Napalm. If Sergey can also make it, I'll be glad to see him; it's been a while since we last met. Also, a player named Benis from Moscow has registered. A player named Nevrotepichno from Ufa wants to come; I hope he can make it. Mizrael is working, but when he last came to check the possibility of streaming, he also said that he would try to make it to the championship. A player named kabzonn was planning to come on the weekend, closer to the closing and the Heroes feast. I would really like to see my friend Lesha Dusta at the tournament, but Novosibirsk is very far away, so it's unlikely. Approximately 15 people will be attending, but it's hard to say for sure. Some might not be able to make it at the last moment, while others might only be able to come on the last day; it's always been like that. Plus, three more guys from the forum are thinking about it; this might be their first tournament, and they're not sure. If they decide to join, I'll include them as well. 3. If two players want to play against each other on the HotA version, is that allowed? If it's a mutual desire, then yes. I can even arrange for them to play against each other in the first round. But the main game version is still SoD.
