The number of participants is determined by the entry threshold – how much will the minimum program cost if you choose the cheapest room, only come for the days of the games, and don't order any additional entertainment.
We know this minimum, but as soon as they sit down at the poker table, thousands just disappear))) Well, that's just a thought that came to mind...
The cheapest room can vary; if you live alone, it's one price (high), if you live with someone else, it's another, if you rent a cottage for four/eight, the cost is even lower, and so on. And the same applies to the number of days of stay, and as a rule, most people come for the entire event, while locals usually hang out for a couple of days and then leave.
And the calculation should be made for the entire cycle, and for those who come for a shorter period, the calculation is made individually, based on the accommodation conditions and the remaining room availability.
An example from personal experience: Players X and Y arrive on May 6th and want to live together, so they book a double room for 3000, but player Y leaves on May 11th, while player X plans to stay until May 13th. Until May 11th, the cost for each will be 1500, but after May 11th, it changes, and therefore something has to be figured out, people have to be moved around, and so on. And there are a lot of such nuances. And everyone tells you, but you stated a minimum, so why is the amount increasing?))))
But no matter what, I will, of course, calculate and publish the MINIMUM!!!
