Many have holidays from January 1st to 10th, so there's plenty of time to play besides celebrating, and we don't want to miss these so-called "Russian holidays." Relax, go for a walk, but play your game within the deadline.
To avoid surprises with the coin toss, I'm informing you:
On January 8th, the 1/16 stage will be completely finished, and in case of unfinished games, a coin will be tossed in the VT chat. Players who consistently contacted their opponent and encountered the opponent's inability to play or didn't receive a response at all should send me the chat log via PM, and they will be awarded the victory. All others who don't want their game to be decided by a randomizer should send the ICQ log via PM (not through ICQ messenger). This procedure will also be applied to other stages of the tournament in the future.
Happy New Year! :)
