Posts from Moscow qualifier.
Auto-translated
As for Michurinsk, it's not really for Muscovites; it's more like a dress rehearsal for the finals. Let's say you announce it – does that mean that strong players who want to come there are forbidden from doing so? And whether or not to give it the status of an additional qualifying round is up to the organizers, but in the tournament that took place, two-thirds of the prizes were won by out-of-town players, so the locals should also have a chance! Moreover, I am personally ready to help in every way with the organization during the event and even a little in advance.)))
And in Moscow, SAG, in addition to the lack of personal experience with club tournaments, is also not focused on the subject due to being extremely busy, plus time was on their side, but I think when the time comes, it will happen, in a purely Russian way.
Personally, it is difficult for me to help because I rarely even find myself near the capital, because the main issue right now is the club, and here you need to work with administrations in person and with personal charm – simply paying clubs Moscow prices would be ruinous.
Vova, please understand me correctly. How would my girlfriend feel about having to sit alone for all the March holidays? Or would she have to spend that time crammed in a corner of the club because I won't have time for her? No, your offer won't work for me.
Who will come from the players for the second Michurinsk tournament? The same people who played in the first qualifying round will come; most of them always play with me. Well, maybe 3 new people. So, what's the point of duplicating a tournament that has already taken place?
Finally, I can't afford to organize such tournaments often. I had 7,000 rubles before the qualifying round, and by the end of the third day, I found that I had no money left – taxis with guests, paying for computers for underprivileged students at the club, buying groceries for the evening, etc. – the money disappeared. The guests already had their own problems at the tournament, and I don't like bothering them with money issues. I had to borrow another thousand from Mizrael and Scorpa.
Plus, I didn't sleep for several days, plus the apartment was trashed – a light bulb broke, an electrical outlet was ripped out with the roots, I can't imagine how much force they used to tear off the TV plug.
I spent two days cleaning the apartment; six sets of laundry are still not washed; I can't ask my girlfriend or mother for help; I don't have time myself. I'm not complaining; I'm very happy that I held the tournament, but I won't be able to afford to do this often.
Holding the finals is one thing, but simply duplicating the first Michurinsk qualifying round is not worth it. And there's no need for a rehearsal; normal tournaments were held in both Michurinsk and Kyiv right away.
Eric, no one is asking for anything for Moscow.
The problem in the Moscow qualifying round may be the out-of-town players – due to their potential participation, the regulations are set with tight deadlines...
At the same time, there are potentially a lot of players in Moscow – who of them will actually participate is still the question.... But let's assume the ideal case – Lotsa responded: then the tournament will not fit into one weekend with all the consequences. If it's like in Siberia or Kyiv – a pack or even several, then there will definitely be enough weekends.
I apologize for interfering in matters that are not my concern – but why is there a need for gigantomania? Remember how this topic started – with gigantic plans, attracting Lotsa players, then one Moscow tournament seemed not enough, and a topic about a second Moscow tournament appeared.
Then everything died down…
In my opinion, it would be very good to hold a small tournament now with reliable people who will definitely play. Let there be 8-10 people, an Olympic-style tournament or a small Swiss-system tournament. The hero community would be grateful for such a tournament.
When you set very big goals, it's unclear where to start, and you want to leave the matter for a while, hoping that someone will do it for you. But a small tournament will happen on its own, almost automatically. And the prices in the club for 2-3 games won't be that expensive.
If you have time, knock me up on ICQ, and I'll even suggest some Muscovites who would be happy to play in such a tournament.
It's all just my opinion.

I remember someone in Zelenograd announced a club and the administration's desire to hold a Heroes tournament there.
We were looking for a place in Zelenograd, and also checked out some club in Novogireevo – I think it was called "Matrix," they also announced a tournament there – but it fizzled out, there aren't any such clubs anymore, they died a peaceful death.... Incidentally, the same happened to "Pentagon," aka "Moscow Alaska"... It seems that the owners of these clubs – fans of Heroes – are quite romantic souls, to run a club in our bureaucratic and corrupt reality. Alan Prosta also had a club – but he went on principle against these bribe-takers, and now Alan Prosta doesn't have a club – either he moved to Krasnodar, or somewhere between Krasnodars...... :( :mad:
Vova, please understand me correctly......
I just knew that there would be a tournament anyway – that's why I was thinking about those who are eager to come to Moscow..... But it seems that the status obliges you to invest, and you can hold a home tournament without much effort, which is right)).
And regarding the problems that might arise – you're wrong, Eric, in my opinion, they would have understood, you're not exactly strangers ;) Next time, share – even though you're the organizer, you're not the sponsor, so you need to distribute the burden evenly :smile01:
And if we're talking about a not very large circle of people in Moscow – then the weekend and one of the holidays are really feasible, but it's not clear yet – no emails, calls, or messages have been sent.... The funniest thing is that, unlike other tournaments, no one really needs to travel anywhere, but it's hard to say how many people will show up now, the constantly playing club crowd has dispersed along with Pentagon.. :smile15:

+1 dark horse, like Lancer, Smoke, or Andra, I think. That's 10 people in total. If I'm wrong about anything, please correct me or register by the 25th if you're not on the list.

Will it be possible to bring a friend along? Will anyone object?
Quite the opposite – Stinger also started by having Aztec bring him to a Chaos tournament.

Because if someone wants to come from other cities, it is advisable to book tickets to Moscow in advance.
Please announce the final dates of the tournament as soon as possible.

The date of the event will definitely be announced on January 27-28!
Vigo, please don't interfere with the process. If I organize something, I don't like it when someone else decides when the date will be announced, and especially when they claim that the search for a club didn't happen before your post. If you're confident in your abilities, organize the qualifier yourself; I don't enjoy going around to clubs, and I'd be happy to pass this task on to someone else. But if not, then let's avoid making your own organizational conclusions and other unnecessary comments.

Okay, sorry, I just wanted to stir things up, you handle it yourself, and as for the deadlines, I remember you saying when we were looking at clubs together that everything needs to be planned out within a month. Well, okay, sorry if I said anything wrong, I'm washing my hands of it, good luck!
