Where did your organizer and partner, Sam, disappear to? A tournament without spectators really does resemble a gathering and entertainment for the players themselves, as someone already mentioned. To attract spectators, you need to interest them (e.g., with top players, a large number of participants, competitiveness, intrigue, etc.), and also provide opportunities to satisfy that interest by showing online streams and providing comprehensive coverage of the tournament. This is what I would like to wish the organizers. P.S. If we're being picky about the name, a CIS tournament shouldn't include participants from Ukraine (as it's not part of the CIS).
