In general, I like the idea of holding a Russian championship with qualifying rounds and I am ready to help organize it.
Respect to Yekaterinburg, there are already two of us.
Good idea, but unrealistic. These are not the times for Heroes, not anymore. But even if we manage to hold qualifying rounds, which version should we play the final on? It's like holding qualifying rounds for Russian checkers in one city, international checkers in another, and Brazilian checkers in a third. So, if we hold qualifying rounds, everyone should play on the same version. Obviously, it should be SoD, as it is the most popular.
Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg – most likely TE, Minsk – a lighter version of TE.
Moscow, Michurinsk, and probably Kyiv – most likely SoD.
These are the qualifying rounds. But the final should still be on SoD, in my opinion. Because if TE players know SoD, then SoD players probably don't know TE.
Although the TE-lite version seems to be well-established, which could be a solution.
But we don't need to go that far yet, let's start by holding qualifying rounds.
The idea is interesting, I'm new to the resource and I play mediocrely, but it would be interesting. I'm from Siberia, so Novosibirsk would be the ideal option for me, and I could also go to Yekaterinburg. I'm a disciplined guy, I promise not to get too drunk))).
P.S. We just need strong organizers, to arrange accommodation for out-of-town participants, etc. In principle, we can rent large apartments or cottages, even better – recreation centers))) with a sauna))), everyone has a laptop now, so we don't need to worry about clubs, and it will be cheaper to stay here.
We need to talk to the respected Mee directly.
And here, Zhenya, you are wrong. In two cities, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg, they are already actively playing TE. In Michurinsk and Moscow, they are also familiar with TE (according to my information). So, the SoD players are already in the minority! However, a compromise (in the form of a simplified TE) can always be found, if there is a desire.
One BUT: where should we hold the final and who will take on the organizational expenses...?
Since I started this topic... If we hold qualifying rounds, we can also agree on the final. In the worst case, Michurinsk can host the final. We have a good club (2 rooms with 10 computers each), we played a match against Moscow there.
Organizational expenses, what are they? All expenses are travel for the participants, accommodation – the finalists pay for it themselves... in general, the club is quite cheap. All costs.
If all the players from the qualifying rounds chip in at least 1000, and given that about 100 people can gather, plus sponsorship... that's a good amount for the winners, tenfold the expenses. Plus the fame of the winners of such a tournament.
the final, in my opinion, should be held at an equidistant distance from everyone - that's Moscow.
It's expensive in Moscow. Everything is expensive. And mass tournaments with the participation of guests have never been held in Moscow. In St. Petersburg, Minsk, Krasnodar - yes, but not in Moscow.
Organizational expenses - if a person knows how to play Heroes and win, then he is not stupid. He should be able to earn money to cover the organizational fee.
The fee should at least cover the rent of the club. Prizes are, in my opinion, unnecessary.
Yes, these are all small amounts. The main thing is travel and accommodation. I will post approximate costs later, which may be incurred when traveling to Michurinsk.
