Nagan-4
Auto-translated
Wow, so much has been written, it's going to take a while to read.
Regarding the schedule. Swiss system for 20 or 24 participants.
April 30 - Round 1, 10 or 12 winners.
May 1 - Round 2, 5 or 6 winners.
May 2 - Round 3 - 2 or 3 winners.
May 3. Round 4 - 1 or 2 winners.
If there is one winner, they will receive well-deserved congratulations. If there are 2 winners, they will play Round 5 for the overall victory.
May 4 - Round 5 - the grand final.
So, it's unclear whether we'll finish on May 4 or 5, it's better to be prepared for all 5 days and take the time off accordingly.
Arrival at and departure from the championship.
First, please note that our city has two train stations! The first is Michurinsk-Uralsky, located almost in the city center, a 5-minute walk from the club (or 1 bus stop on bus number 1).
The second station is Michurinsk-Voronezhsky, located on the outskirts of the city, it's more difficult to get there, it's better to take a taxi.
Therefore, when you write about your arrival, in addition to the train, carriage, and time, please also write the name of the station!!!
A significant number of guests will be arriving from the Moscow direction.
Preds, AlextheGreat, Vitalic, Yama-Dharma, Stinger, Qwerty, GreatGenius, Dust, Van, Merlin, Oxygen, Mee, Dirty Player, and possibly others.
In my opinion, the most optimal train would be train number 126 (express) Moscow - Novorossiysk, departing from Kazan station.
It departs on April 30, 2011, at 00:25 and arrives at 06:41.
That is, you will be in Michurinsk at half-past six in the morning, just in time to get some sleep, settle in, and arrive at the start of the round. Of course, it would also be easier for me to meet you all together. I'll be amazed by the number of Heroes players in one carriage, that's for sure... The ticket price is about 800 rubles, a little more expensive because it's an express train, it takes 6 hours.
Perhaps some people will not be able to or will not make it on this train, so I'm listing other trains.
17. Moscow - Saratov, (departs 19:54 - arrives 02:50 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Uralsky).
15. Moscow - Volgograd (departs 20:04 - arrives 03:35 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Voronezhsky).
25. Moscow - Voronezh (departs 20:54 - arrives 04:58 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Voronezhsky).
77. Moscow - Stavropol (departs 21:04 - arrives 04:58 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Uralsky).
86. Moscow - Makhachkala (departs 21:10 - arrives 05:21 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Uralsky).
34. Moscow - Volgodonsk (departs 21:48 - arrives 03:59 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Uralsky). I'm not sure about Volgodonsk, the word is smudged, but the train is definitely number 34.
31. Moscow - Tambov (departs 22:00 - arrives 06:24 at Michurinsk-Uralsky).
Also a convenient train, but worse. First, it takes 2 hours longer. And second, it's an express train and 400 rubles more expensive.
Another large group of guests is from St. Petersburg - Bayazet, Term, Horn, Wicc, Porizatel, Kobra, Matrosoff, and possibly Napalm.
You can get to Moscow, join the Moscow players, and turn an ordinary carriage into a Heroes carriage.
Or you can get from St. Petersburg to Michurinsk without changing trains.
109. St. Petersburg - Astrakhan (departs 18:27 on April 29 - arrives 10:25 on April 30 at Michurinsk-Uralsky). Ticket price - 1430 rubles.
Arrives at the station, next to the club. Being 25 minutes late for the round is not a big deal, 5 minutes to the club and you can start the first round at 11:00.
Your belongings will be in the club until the evening.
Accommodation - in the evening.
The second train is less convenient.
111. St. Petersburg - Voronezh (departs 19:02 - arrives 12:57 at Michurinsk-Uralsky). Price 1500 rubles.
Perhaps it's too late, you might not make it to the first round.
That's about arrival.
Now about departure.
May 4, evening and night, to Moscow.
31. Tambov - Moscow, departs at 22:27 from M.-Uralsky - arrives at 06:24 (daily).
47. Saratov - Moscow, departs at 23:20 from M.-Uralsky - arrives at 06:52.
33. Vladikavkaz - Moscow, departs at 23:42 from M.-Uralsky - arrives at 06:29.
256. Voronezh - Moscow, departs at 00:11 from M.-Voronezhsky - arrives at 07:55.
9. Saratov- Moscow, departs at 00:32 from M.-Uralsky - arrives at 07:28.
836. Liski - Moscow, departs at 01:18 from M.-Uralsky, arrives at 09:05.
379. Volgograd - Moscow, departs at 01:38 from M.-Uralsky - arrives at 09:52.

5. Astrakhan-Moscow, departs at 03:19 from M.-Voronezhsky - arrives at 10:00.
For the St. Petersburg players - departure in the evening of May 4.
111. Voronezh - St. Petersburg, departs at 18:54, arrives at 13:14, ticket costs 1400 rubles.
109. Astrakhan - St. Petersburg, departs at 19:42 - arrives at 12:21, ticket - 1320 rubles.
I'll take a break and continue.

Now about the accommodation of the guests.
I already described the sanatorium option. Its advantage is that everyone is together. That is, in the morning everyone gets up, gets on the bus, everyone together arrives at the round, in the evening everyone together leaves the round.
The main disadvantage is that it's 18 km from the club, paying for the bus all 5 days, back and forth, that's 10 trips, and I'm aiming for the maximum cheapness of the tournaments, and therefore accessibility for everyone.
Then, time is wasted on the road.
Besides, everyone is an adult, some want to sleep in the evening, and some want to walk around the city at night or have fun. And separate taxis are expensive to go to the city. At night, taxi drivers will especially inflate prices for trips outside the city.
Although in the city, even at night, it's still 50 rubles in either direction.
Therefore, I think this way. We will have about 30-35 people, 20-22 three-person rooms, including Horn and Dust, plus about 4 two-person rooms, possibly their wives, plus a few guests.
I tried to calculate the option of staying in the city. The downside is that it will be more difficult to gather everyone for the round, some will oversleep terribly. But still.
I'll take 8-9 people to my place, there are enough beds.
There is an option to accommodate some of the Heroes players in a children's health camp, a comfortable building, good rooms, fortunately, it's not the season and it's empty. I have diplomatic skills, I'll try.
There are several houses near the city that are rented specifically for weekend getaways. But they are not heated, and it can be very cold at night on April 30. I wouldn't risk putting people in an unheated house.
Regarding apartments. I will look for them, especially for families and for the St. Petersburg players (they really wanted to). The last option is a hotel, it's convenient, reliable, but expensive, 1100 - that's too much!
By the way, I was in the sanatorium. It's the same as in a dozen other places I've been to. Old Soviet-era buildings. Two beds, a table, a TV (I hope it's a color one). And, there's a pitcher, a bathroom, a bathtub.
It's probably possible for ten poker fans to gather in a room, but don't count on a conference room, the director was respectful, but he carefully emphasized the difference between people undergoing treatment and people who just came to stay. I definitely can't guarantee a quiet game.
P.S. I'll find out about accommodation in the city soon and write everything down. That is, it's cheaper, and people can walk around the city themselves, they don't depend on the bus, they plan their own leisure time.
Regarding the schedule. Swiss system for 20 or 24 participants.
April 30 - Round 1, 10 or 12 winners.
May 1 - Round 2, 5 or 6 winners.
May 2 - Round 3 - 2 or 3 winners.
May 3. Round 4 - 1 or 2 winners.
