Vitaly, your posts, which express dislike for what's happening there, won't change anything either. The truth has already been said: many people come to relax, and even though they don't mean to, they end up being a nuisance. But even if only players showed up, nothing good would come of it. And to organize everything so that everyone is happy – both the players and the organizers – and still do it with genuine enthusiasm, I don't think that's possible, at least not outside the CIS, and certainly not for free. We don't have the discipline to gather large crowds of fans and admirers, and this event is an attempt to change things for the better, but criticism without suggestions is just empty talk.
I don't have any dislike, but rather disappointment. The reality of the tournament is far less serious than I imagined.
I've already written my suggestions above: we need to change the approach to this tournament. At least, there needs to be some discipline. If someone comes to a tournament, their main goal should be to play well and not disturb others. If a player follows the rules, they can do whatever they want outside the playing area. In other words, in the hall – it's all about the game; outside the hall – it's about relaxing, socializing, and drinking. Furthermore, to make the tournament strong and worthy of its name, we need to create a set of rules. For example, the tournament should have at least 10 good players (or at least 8), starting, say, from a rating of 1800+. If we can't gather that many, then the tournament isn't a CIS championship, but rather, as I wrote above, just a good gathering of friends. And if there's discipline and people know in advance that they're coming to a serious tournament, that will greatly motivate strong players.
Right now, these gatherings result in (roughly): 30% interest in the tournament and 70% interest in drinking, socializing, playing poker, and so on. And until that percentage changes or balances out, we'll keep having these post-event discussions.
