Nagan-4
Auto-translated
I'll chime in on this topic once, even though I don't have much to contribute. In my opinion, 8-10 people in the final is ideal, and no more.

16 people, and the "Olimpiyka" venue would be perfect! What's the point of dragging it out?
Right now, you have 8 finalists from St. Petersburg and 6 from Moscow.
Are you deliberately trying to undermine the prestige of the final?
Guys, can you please specify exactly who needs to be removed from the final?
Nagan has the same approach – to gather a large group. That's why he's handing out quotas left and right. I don't agree with her, but since she's the organizer, it's her decision.
In my opinion, the optimal format would be 16 people and 4 rounds. Without tourists and casual players, only strong regulars. Different quotas for different qualifying tournaments (based on the strength of the team and the number of people who want to participate). So that there is competition in each qualifying tournament.
No, now that a decision has been made, we'll play with an expanded roster, it won't be a problem.
Are we just trolling ourselves?
I was just writing this for future tournaments, suggesting that the format needs to be slightly optimized.
I'm sure there won't be many.
