Ah, it would be nice to have the changes to the rules translated into English as well. Who would take on the task? The translation was already cut down, and now the changes aren't reflected in it.

Today, several people contacted me with a question about the Tournaments entry fee. The idea is that players (if they wish) could contribute BI and compete for 50% of the prize pool, and the other 50% would be transferred to Vova's family. I think this is a good idea.
In general, I think that to attract more players to commercial Tournaments, we need to come up with a system where players can at least get their money back, say, after leaving the group. I mean, there is currently no incentive for average players, and there are many of them... For maintaining the common pot, with all this hassle, Dirty deserves a dacha)

or, for example, with the possibility of withdrawing from the Tournament at a certain stage, with the money already won, in exchange for a refund to the common pot. Are there any similar schemes?

I myself am much more interested in playing with stakes, but when there are no chances, there is no point in participating. Almost none...
This is a good idea for 5-10 contenders; leave the option to contribute exclusively to the family fund.

Let's say the Tournament is held in an Olympic-style format with 64 players (the most popular format right now). Each participant pays an entry fee (BI). After passing 2 rounds, they have the opportunity to double it, and even further – to increase it. That is, with 64 participants, there will be 16 prize-winning places. Here is an example of a simple structure (without taking into account the rake):
1st place: 12 BI
2nd place: 8 BI
3-4 places: 6 BI - 2 people
5-8 places: 4 BI - 4 people
9-16 places (losers in the 3rd round): 2 BI - 8 people double the entry fee.
17-32 places (losers in the 2nd round): 0
33-64 places (losers in the 1st round): 0
All of this has nothing to do with the Vova Memorial Tournament; these are just some random thoughts.
In general, in this tournament, the entry fee is planned as a purely voluntary contribution. Everyone will play, everyone will compete for a place in the Facebook group, but only those who pay the tournament fee will compete for the prize fund. If someone wants to simply support Vova's family but not pay the fee, that's fine.
I have such a system!

although, it's true that 64 probably won't be reached..., losers in the 2nd round get a subscription to the online lobby.
those who lost in the 2nd round will lose their lobby subscription.

What will baratorch gain from this?
A large number of subscribers in the first month increases the likelihood of subscriptions in the future.

I doubt that 64 players will participate, seriously aiming to reach the top 16.
although, indeed, there probably won't be 64...,
Regardless of the rules/templates/versions, 80-90% of the top 16 will be familiar faces + 2-3 random participants (+ Reddit) )))
and if 1st place is 6 Battle Items and so on? maybe we should create a poll)

We could organize an experimental tournament, for example, with 32 players, using this format.
If Kostya agrees to manage the funds and handle numerous transactions.
