I've been thinking for a while about holding two Tournaments, one for CIS and one for SOD, and another for VT...
The arguments against were that if we don't stagger the CIS+VT and SOD Champ tournaments, there will be fewer participants in the SOD tournament - as Moscow showed, there was no overlap in players between VT and SOD: Matrosov (+1) - but he wasn't in Odessa (-1), Stinger (played in both versions of the tournament) - but couldn't play (unfortunately), the REST - Kingisepp...
1) The main question is probably how many SOD players are willing to travel to the CIS tournament in May...
2) What other pros/cons/difficulties are there in organizing two combined tournaments?
P.S.: May (warm weather/sea...) and January/New Year's... which is more appealing?!
1. Are you suggesting holding VT and SOD tournaments simultaneously? In the same place? It's impossible; VT will already be in Minsk, and SOD is already being organized by someone in Kyiv.
Two tournaments simultaneously are impossible for one reason - it will lead to players being drawn to one or the other (Are you going to play SOD? It's full of noobs; all the good players only play VT, etc.).
2. It's harder to play in May... warm weather, the sea... your soul yearns for freedom. But in winter, that's all you want to do.
P.S. Tomorrow I'll be in Tambov in the evening; let's go bowling. Ask Mizrael if he's free.

I would be happy to participate in the upcoming tournament!
Thank you for the kind words. Of course, come, it's good that we met in Moscow.
