CIS Club Championship 2012 in Yekaterinburg.

What kind of entry fees are there? Is it possible for beginners to participate?

Regarding the entry fees, it's not yet clear. It depends on how much sponsorship money I can find. Currently, the sponsorship amount is 20-25 thousand rubles, which isn't a large sum, but there's still time...
The approximate calculation is around 2-3 thousand rubles from all participants, whether they are players or spectators. If we order catering, it might be a bit more. All the sponsorship money, which I hope will be around 40-50 thousand rubles, will be used as prize money, with the prizes distributed similarly to the Michurinsk event. We might also collect 1 thousand rubles from each participant to form a prize fund, and then add the sponsorship money to it... I haven't decided yet... It will be clearer closer to the event.
