Application for the CIS region.

Actually, Sergey, you're not entirely right. I organized the CIS tournaments and listened to the opinions of respected players, rather than doing everything 100% according to my own wishes. At CIS-14 in Minsk, the default setting was VT under SoD. Although I wanted a full VT. If you're so categorical, some good players might simply not come, which would lower the level of the tournament. We (as I always thought) always strived to make the CIS the coolest and most important tournament of the year, not just a gathering of people with shared interests. It's your decision, but I, despite being all for "hota only," will vote for a poll (or for the compromise option I suggested earlier).
