Okay, I won't wait for anyone else. Those who didn't respond clearly didn't want to participate. The results are in the Excel file. I've compiled a list of templates based on player responses, not just what I felt like doing. Regarding the finalist players: It's unclear if Eddie will be able to come. Kebba definitely can't make it. FH from Yekaterinburg - his participation is 50/50. Siberia - there are big question marks about all three players. Time: 4 days is enough for the Swiss system. One and a half rounds per day - 5-6 rounds. This would be May 1-4. For games that last longer than a day, we won't finish them; instead, all the finalists will judge them by voting. Templates: We'll decide as we did in Moscow - a choice of 5 templates: см, Джебус, 8мм6, 8хм12, and either Nostalgia or 6лм10. I would suggest that players be particularly careful with 8хм12 (which has 55 zones!!!) and Nostalgia - these two templates take a long time to play, which is not good for the tournament. Therefore, let's leave 6лм10 as the 5th template. Game Version: I suggest using TE-Lite as the base, as Nagan already mentioned before the start of the tournament. I wanted WT - simultaneous turns up to 116 and the ability to select templates with checkboxes - but the author of WT, asm, says that there can be bugs with simultaneous turns. By mutual agreement, we can play on any other version - SOD with Lite, TE-Lite, TE-Full. Does anyone have any objections or suggestions? Rules: The majority are in favor of HotA, but this isn't as crucial as the game version. Club: It's the same as before. This week, I want to suggest that Sem and Volodimir go there. Organizers: Wic - judge Sem - meeting/assistance with accommodation Resolving controversial situations - voting by all the finalists Gorbik - official duties, possibly advertising and prizes. Prices: Accommodation - the best option is apartments. The price is from $25 per day for the entire apartment - usually 4 people can fit there, and if you take a larger apartment... For the club, approximately $20 for 4 days - this is not the Moscow price of $4 per hour. Food: There's a great restaurant nearby called Puzata Khata - lunch is about $5. PS. While I was writing this, I saw a message from Peterius... Yes, we can't ban a qualifier. If someone is eager to play, then it's a sign from above. However, the list for this qualifier consists of players who have already been in the Kyiv tournament... not a single new player? Well, Alex_R is there... I would advise that if there are more new players, we play a qualifier, but if it's just Alex, then...
