CIS Qualifier for King’s Bounty 2017.

Okay, you convinced me – I'll come and show you the evidence.

I doubt it. I don't need it. You've already let down organizers before. But you did promise to come to Korolev with your wife this year, if anything happens. And that's a full-time commitment.
And, actually, this isn't really for you.
It's for Khivanna, who seems to have joined the process, so he should understand that if someone says they'll come, they might not actually come. (Although, on the other hand, Khivanna already understands that if the Chief Organizer says he got up at five in the morning and went to negotiate with the hotel, it's not a guarantee either...)
