Tournament format: "Speed and Aggression".

Basically, that's the topic :) Given the conflict that has arisen between supporters of the two systems, I propose conducting a poll to resolve the issue amicably. Please write comments stating your position. Only the votes of players who have applied to participate in the tournament will be counted, including those who submitted their applications after the 32-person limit was reached, i.e., wassermann, Satir, Kilgor, and Ihtiandr. I will state my opinion: I have a great desire to spend time in a pleasant and engaging way by participating in the tournament, and as a newcomer, I advocate for the Swiss system so that I can play with the "pros" in the same tournament for a longer time. Even if I only get 30th place. As an organizer, it is also extremely important for me to ensure that ALL those who wish to participate can do so, but I must also take into account the position of all interested parties. I am ready to run the tournament using any system, even the "Brazilian" system. So, friends, let's vote actively. The results of the poll will be announced today at 7:00 PM Moscow time, and the draw for the tournament will be held at 8:00 PM Moscow time, using the system that receives the most votes. If the votes are split equally, which is highly unlikely, I will run the tournament using the Swiss system. Added 3 hours and 50 minutes later I wanted to add a few words about the Swiss system after consulting with knowledgeable people. We will have 6 rounds. The participant with the most points wins. The ranking among participants with the same number of points will be determined by the following additional criteria: 1) Head-to-head result 2) Sonneborn-Berger score

The Berger score of a participant in a chess tournament is the sum of the scores of all opponents that the participant won against, plus half the sum of the scores of the opponents that the participant drew against. The idea behind the application of the coefficient is: of two participants with the same number of points, the one who won against stronger opponents who scored more points is stronger. Therefore, the participant with the higher Berger score is awarded a higher final place in the tournament. A win against a participant with zero points does not contribute to the Berger score.

If we still have participants with the same results, then an additional match will be played. Approximately like that
