For example, I have at least 3 possible arrival times: 06:41, 10:11, and 14:07. I would like to finalize the start time of the round.
More than a third of the guests are coming from St. Petersburg, so we will adjust to their arrival at 1 p.m. on April 30. With so many people, we need to arrange accommodation immediately (apartment, hotel, or sanatorium – I will definitely let you know by the end of the week when the negotiations are over), during the day, because there will be problems with settling them in at night.
Therefore, the first round in Might and Magic III will start around 2 p.m. However, to save time, we will draw the lots earlier. The principle is that players from the same city should not play against each other for as long as possible. There is no need to go to Michurinsk; they could have played at home.
But a player from St. Petersburg against a player from Moscow, or a province against the capital – it has always been interesting to watch.
Here is my post to the guests from St. Petersburg on the previous page.
I was hoping you would arrive earlier and leave later... We will proceed based on what we have. Let's assume that players from the Moscow region (including Yekaterinburg) arrive earlier. The same goes for players from Tambov and Krasnodar. They will be accommodated in a sanatorium or hotel (there is time to make a more convenient decision). They will come to the club. We will draw the lots, making sure that representatives of the same city do not meet each other for as long as possible.
You will arrive at 1 p.m. It will be difficult to accommodate so many players at night, so we will first arrange accommodation – in an apartment, hotel, or somewhere else (we will decide later). This will take at most an hour.
At 2 p.m., we will meet the players from Siberia.
Thus, we will start the first round only at 2 p.m. or 2:30 p.m.!
There is little to be happy about, but due to the exception, I will try to negotiate with the club to play until 2 a.m. Later, it makes no sense – people will not wake up for the second round.
Rounds 2-4 will be played as usual, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Round 5 will be easier. Some people will definitely go home, and some will be tired of playing by that time and will want to sleep. At best, there will be 5-6 pairs left. For sure, 2-3 players from St. Petersburg will be contenders for the prizes by that time.
Or we can start the round earlier, perhaps even in the evening of May 3 – with postponing and finishing it in the morning.
But there will be a way. Although three full days and two half-days for 5 rounds is tough.
P.S. Bring your laptops; it is not necessary, but desirable. I don't know how it will go; maybe you will have to finish the games at home.

And there are only 6 players in pairs; they can play as soon as they arrive, even at 10 a.m.
They have an independent tournament, a separate room next to the main hall for playing.
