Why only 32 people?

Misha, have mercy on me :eek: I know from the previous Tournaments how much time, money, and energy I'll lose during the tournament, how little sleep I'll get while editing, recording, uploading, and reviewing matches for violations, and resolving organizational issues, and updating tournament information – and all of this needs to be done as quickly as possible... I simply don't have enough time or health for anything more... This is also why I'm not participating in the tournament as a player (and also, I realistically assess my chances).

If there are people who can help me reduce the workload by at least a third, I will gladly organize something bigger later. For now, 32 people is already a lot for me... Even after the tournament with 14 players, I was very tired, and some moments also took a toll on me and prolonged the tournament ;) Thank you to the guys who agreed to be judges and help me. And also, thank you to Timbuktu for the possible help with recording, reviewing, and commenting on some matches.

In general, the format of this tournament is already set. This is final. I won't be able to accommodate everyone who wants to participate, unfortunately... But if everything goes well, there will be more tournaments, and then we'll see...
