Tournaments are secondary; the meeting is primary. If I'm not mistaken, Vic once tried to convey a similar idea about the spirit of the Community.
Wow, Vic is a genius born in the wrong time. Sometimes it feels like you understand him, and sometimes it feels like you don't. And it's unknown where he'll turn next. For me, a straightforward and somewhat simple person, it's not ideal.
Do you really think that this amount is very significant for someone, and they will definitely play with all their might and give up drinking, playing poker, etc., to get some sleep before the next round?
Well, let him drink. He'll leave the money to the winner of the Tournament, the person who will play to the end.
There is no doubt that the Tournament will take place without money, and the winner will be known.
Let's wait for comments from AlexGreat, Cobra, Bayazet on this matter.
That's the whole point: we, as ordinary people, expect entertainment for ourselves and often don't care about what the participants themselves want. Traveling for almost a day just to spend all the time in a club is extremely unreasonable.
Read the topic first; it's quite interesting at times. If you summarize all the wishes of the participants, including those playing in pairs, there are more than 30 people, and this will require the assistance of Abramovich. We looked for compromises, argued, and if we hold it well, then we won't have done it in vain.
But they definitely won't sit in the club for that long. No, there is a chance that someone will get stuck in long matches. But most of the guests and participants come for a full-fledged rest. I hope that I will at least partially be able to revive the atmosphere of those old Krasnodar Tournaments, which Horn, Matrosov, General Yura, Cobra, Borzoid, and Yama-Dharma, who come to Michurinsk, remember.
There will be chess, football; I don't know about volleyball, I don't know where to find a net.
