"Newcomer-2009. Winter"

A large number of registered participants? We've been there! I won't say which organization I'm from, but I will say that in the tournament we recently held, 26 young people applied to participate! That is, the tournament started with 13 pairs. And only 13 people finished! :( All the others dropped out. This is with a similar schedule of 1 week per game, and our tournament lasted 2 months. And this one is planned for three. So, how many more people will you lose?... It's all because you promote it, but you don't check who the participants are and why they're coming. There are many dishonest people! You need to introduce some kind of protection against automatic tournament registrations or require a guarantor, so that random people don't register for the event. I have guarantors. What about them?! Many people know how it is when you spend several days looking for an opponent on ICQ and other contacts, and it turns out that this tournament is no longer interesting to him. Please comment.
