Heading towards CIS-2020.

In previous championships, the constant reason for complaints was that losing 1 match meant you could forget about the championship, right?

The speed of the matches has increased due to normal road junctions and checkpoints. This is not very related to the templates, as can be seen in practice in Vaskelovo: 4 rounds in two days.

Using a system like in FB, you can hold a tournament in 7 (6.5) rounds for 32 people. But there are already about 35 participants; will some of them still have to leave the tournament after 1 loss in the qualification?

And a little about the mercenary aspect... thanks to the same Frishi studio, the prize fund of the last CIS tournament has more than doubled, and the champion earned, as far as I know, about 100k, and the bronze medalist - about 60. All this was ensured by viewer support, and a certain amount from Frishi himself (maybe I'm wrong, but I was told that). In other words, do you want to play for a total prize fund of less than 100k (32x3k) or for significantly larger amounts?

Let's be honest, this is still the main argument why Sergey is given the right to choose the templates. These amounts, which have not yet been announced, will only be seen by the top three out of 35+ participants, and everyone pays for the trip and the tournament fee. So, maybe we should ask them if they are ready to go to the main tournament on these terms? This is all announced 4 months later, when the team has already been assembled under other conditions.

Those 7 templates that are listed in the tournament topic are quite adequate.
