The issues with the venue seem to have been resolved, thanks to Sir Vigo.

The club is located 5 minutes from the Tretyakovskaya metro station (it's almost in the center, so it will be convenient for everyone). The club is run by some good friends of mine, and they will treat us well, both in terms of technical issues and moral support (you can even bring your own snacks and set them up there :). Smoking is allowed in the club (which is important for some players; those who don't smoke can be seated at computers in another area). The club has reasonable prices (60-70 rubles per hour, but I will be negotiating tomorrow to get a lower price, since we don't need internet access for all the computers and we will be there for 2-3 days, so it's like a bulk discount :).
Therefore, registration is now open.
Dates: we will start on the weekend of February 19-20 and finish on the following weekend, February 26-27 (if necessary). The dates are negotiable, but not earlier than the specified dates, and possibly later.
The tournament format depends on the number of participants, but it will most likely be a Swiss system again. The number of rounds for the final tournament is 3.
Version: WT under SoD, i.e., without experience, tax, bank, classes, etc. (negotiable).
List of templates: 2sm4d(3), Jebus, Mini-Nostalgia, 8mm6a, 6lm10a (also negotiable).
The rules are standard; templates and Castles are determined by drawing lots, starting with blue, and coin toss.
Tournament organizer: StickyFingaz. I will try to come myself, but if I do, it will only be for one session.
Register here in this topic. As usual, there are no restrictions on place of residence; anyone who wishes can participate. Suggestions and proposals are welcome.
The championship is temporarily postponed by a week (to February 26-27). Whether it will be held at all is currently being discussed. Details on page 3.

Yeah, come on guys, we're waiting for you, players from St. Petersburg and Ukraine – and we can start discussing the finals.
The club has symbolic prices (60-70 rubles per hour),
And I used to charge 20 rubles per hour, which I thought was expensive. It seems like the cities aren't that far apart... but in reality, they are very far away... :o
I asked around, and many people are interested, but they hesitate to sign up, arguing that "there's still plenty of time..."
I recommend making a decision sooner rather than later because we need to know the number of players to determine how many computers to reserve. It wouldn't be good if we reserve N computers and N+5 people show up – there might not be enough computers for everyone.

Yesterday, I had a meeting with the club owner. We have two options:
1. We rent the entire club and have it to ourselves from morning to evening for 18 units per day.
2. We reserve the number of computers we need in one part of the hall, section it off with screens, and do our own thing there, managing the entry. Basically, if anyone from the hall disturbs us, security will escort them out, and only those we allow will be admitted to the club, based on moral or other considerations.
For all this, we will pay 50 units per hour for each computer we rent, plus whatever we order there (beer, snacks, etc.). I am allowed to bring my own strong drinks, as a bottle of vodka there costs 900 rubles.
We are discussing this.
And please, sign up quickly, as I need to book everything in advance.

Good news. It looks like a real tournament in the spirit of the old school masters is coming up, old-school, as 47 says. Of course, such a tournament would be good to hold according to chaos rules, or on Soda.

The second option is definitely better. 50 rubles per hour is a maximum of 600 rubles per day (if we arrive early and leave late).
18,000 rubles per day pays off with 30 participants, which is clearly not going to happen.
Added 9 minutes later Qwerty
Of course, it would be nice to hold such a tournament using Chaos rules.
We will definitely install the Chaos patch; I would be happy to watch games played on it. I think many people would enjoy revisiting the old days. But it doesn't look good as the main version – it's already quite exotic, and not all new players are familiar with it.
Well, well, I've become a Muscovite. I'm signing up. Wicc
...[/U] We'll definitely install the Chaos patch; I'd be happy to watch games played on it. I think many wouldn't mind revisiting the old days. But as a main version, it doesn't quite fit – it's already a bit of an oddity, not familiar to all new players.
Yur, despite our, shall we say, "Baev-style" mafia-like atmosphere: it seems that initially, it was believed that the rules of the qualifier were determined by its organizer, then an addition was made that players could, by mutual agreement, agree on anything, as long as it didn't lead to prolonging the games. And, in fact, Vigo seems to have agreed with the club; usually, this automatically granted him the status of organizer, and in any case, he has someone to consult with, at least Vitalik. Why are you outlining the regulations for the future qualifier? Perhaps we should stick to established traditions? Assuming it's held over a couple of weekends, I don't see any major obstacles, even for Chaos rules as a base version. I don't see any fierce opponents of WoG who would prevent us from agreeing on something if necessary: if even such apologists of SoD as Dubrovin hang out in the WoG chat.
The word "discussable" appeared twice in the first post. This means that the players' opinions are the priority here.
The specified rules are intended to make dissatisfied players express their opinions more quickly, because without a starting point, it can take a very long time to negotiate and agree. We've already been through this at the previous Moscow qualifier.
If enough people want to play with chaos rules or another variation, there's no problem; it's not up to me to decide, but to you.
Also, playing with a different version by mutual agreement was never prohibited. The only requirement is that each tournament must specify the version and set of rules that are used if there is no mutual agreement.
It has always been this way...

I would like to come and visit, but there is one problem – I have nowhere to stay. Could anyone offer accommodation for the night of February 19th to 20th, and perhaps meet me, as I don't know Moscow at all?

So, what’s the decision? Are the dates still the same – 19th and 20th? Since no one responded, I’ll probably try to book a hotel.

Roman, post your photo here, because some might doubt, looking at your avatar, and if we're being serious, Moscow is great, but not the dorm near Babushkinskaya metro station (300-450 rubles), don't make a youthful mistake!

Many have seen my photo on "Odnoklassniki")) yes, not at all – beer, Heroes, poker, billiards, sauna, and everything – kind, sweet, and fluffy). But what kind of "dorm" is that? It sounds intriguing))))

I don't like the proposed rules. I suggest an alternative: with classes and trading, it doesn't matter - bank, experience, tax, morale, stack. Specifically for Jeb, I propose disabling Dimension Door, Flight, and Wings; others use templates with them. I am ready to participate (if I don't happen to forget). My patch for a more convenient interface can also be installed.
