Nagan, let the players decide, not just one or two people, which template and version to use.
Right now, I see three people in favor of TE and 8mm, and three in favor of SOD and CM (Vitalik, Keba, Pit) - and those in favor of SOD are active, regular players. In my opinion, why bring out old dinosaurs from dusty closets? They probably won't even remember how to move their units anymore.
Let everyone who wants to play in Moscow get together and decide for themselves. Otherwise, "the organizers decided everything for you" - in my opinion, that's not democratic.
By the way, many people from Ukraine told me about the Michurinsk qualifier - they said that in Russia, there's a dictatorship and a cult of personality, but in Ukraine, we discuss everything together. It's like it's more democratic. And NONE of the players had even a trace of unpleasant feelings after the meeting in Kyiv.
P.S. Besides, as we can see from the discussions, there are too many bugs in TE-Lite, and there are still too many differences... there might be disputes later.
About the dinosaurs - tone down the bragging - Andre showed at the Cities Tournament that he can still put up a good fight.
None of the participants in the Michurinsk qualifier had even a trace of unpleasant feelings after the meeting - but this didn't affect the opinion of Stinger, Yama, and me about CM.
