Eric, I don't understand you.
Why do we need to waste time and money on trips to the club, adjusting to the travel schedule, when we can hold the entire tournament right at our base?
Seriously, it seems like you're hiding something; I can't think of any other explanation.
I guess we'll have to do things the simple way – decide on the spot who will go to the club and who will stay. Since opinions are so divided.
Yura, how many times do I have to explain? You have a computer club. I come to you, tell you about a big tournament, about how there will be a lot of people... You seem to believe me, and that's fine.
You rearrange the computers, build a wall out of plywood for the needs of the upcoming tournament (dividing the club into 2 zones). You let me test SoD, plus WoG. After some time, I come to you and say: "You know, it's not working out for me. You've already incurred costs, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to bear with it."
You'll probably tell me in response: "Eric! The fact that you came to my club is already a great honor for me! The fact that I spent money and time on your ideas is completely irrelevant! And come to my club again in the future with such proposals!"
Yura, where were you before? We talked on the phone, and in person. Did you not know that we would be playing at the club? For example, you could have contacted me in January. But instead, you let me get bogged down in an agreement with the club and then started attacking. Sorry, that's not right.
Well, that's what I'm saying – the tournament is more for fun than for competition. If half the games weren't played, it wouldn't bother anyone. And people wouldn't care much about the results.
Okay, give me a link to your tournaments, I'll read them, and learn from them.
If you want a tournament where another "Lеха" (no offense to him) wins, simply because of the draw and schedule, then what am I doing here? I think that a championship needs a little more legitimacy.
How does playing at the club relate to a fair draw? Are the computers rigged? If that's the case, as you say, then I can create a cheater's draw not only at the club, but also at a sanatorium.
