Club championship of the CIS countries.

We need to clarify one more point: for example, Keba manages to sort things out and at the end of April, he reports that he will be able to come. What should we do with the person who was going to come instead of him – after all, that person was also dealing with real-life matters, etc.

Initially, in the first posts of the topic, I suggested that people should clearly decide whether they are coming or not to the finals. As I understand it, Keba is currently the only one who hasn't decided – whether to come or not, everyone else has made up their minds.

Perhaps, it would be worth agreeing in advance with the people who will be replacing the finalists who cannot come, so that they can sort out their real-life matters and gather funds.
Even if everyone comes, instead of 21, there will be 22, and that's fine.
But most likely, there will still be some who won't make it, so it would be worth inviting 1-2 candidates.
But this is up to the organizers – Captain and Sam – can they accommodate more people than 21?

And also – I apologize, there should be only a sporting principle in the selection of finalists. We are not playing for money, but for the idea.
As soon as wild cards start appearing, and places in the finals are bought for money, the tournament will quickly fall apart.
