Artem, let's really stop arguing here :)
The confusion arose because you and Preds were trying to play both sides :)
...

Actually, I was involved in three. Besides Michurinsk and Moscow, I also participated in the tournament in Kingisepp. I wore an Olympic jacket and lost in the first round to Alex (who won the tournament) in a game using Chaos rules. It seems that, considering this incident, I should be completely excluded from the list of finalists. :)
The possibility of participating in several qualifying tournaments was agreed upon even before the first one was held.

Regarding the comparison of the strength of the tournaments: Vova, who performed very poorly in the Michurinsk tournament, won against his future winner, Leha, in a practice game while people were finishing the first round, and in the Moscow tournament, he could have competed for a prize-winning place if not for the organizational blunders, so this is a thankless task. If everything had been clear from the beginning, then we wouldn't have had to bother with organizing the final.
