The Kyiv final was also planned for May 1st, but in the end, it had to be postponed due to possible mass absences, as far as I understand. Still, in my opinion, May 6-9 is a more convenient option for those with families. Many people make plans for vacations and so on. After the qualifiers, it would be logical to hold a vote on the dates among the participants, as an unresolved date could be a demotivator for participation even at the stage of these very qualifiers.
2 Peterius. I don't care, I'm going on vacation with my girlfriend only in July. :D May 6-9 is even more convenient for me. When the finalists are determined, we'll vote on the dates. I think the club management won't mind.
damn, where is Minsk - city of heroes?
2 Besha. A rhetorical question. I've been thinking the same thing for about two years now. It seems like everything is there - clubs, a strong community. If I took on the organization, I think people would gather.
I looked at the neighboring topics to see what kind of final might result. 1. Bayazet - champion of the previous CIS final. 2. Dust - Siberian qualifier. 3. Dirty Player - Siberian qualifier. 4. Deep Mike or Preds - Siberian qualifier. 5. Scorp - Michurinsk qualifier. 6. Mizrael - Michurinsk qualifier. 7. Lyokha - Michurinsk qualifier. 8. Ekaterinburg qualifier-1. 9. Ekaterinburg qualifier-2. 10. Ekaterinburg qualifier-3.
This is interesting. Deep Mike and Dirty Player? It seems like two of the strongest blitz players at the moment... I'm starting to encourage vitalic and Oxygen - it seems there's a good chance to do quite well! We'll continue the discussion about the availability of clocks and boards after the Moscow qualifier!
I bought a trophy; I'm thinking of either engraving it myself or having a professional do it. I also bought the gifts. All that's left is to install the game at the club, and I'll be ready to welcome the guests.

We'll continue the discussion about having clocks and boards after the Moscow qualifiers!
No problem, I can get chess sets and clocks. Just like in Krasnodar in 2004, we held a chess championship for several days. We can even set up tables in the club, and anyone who's free can play. :smile54:
P.S. We're planning to have 10 computers in the room for duels; I'd like to get some people to join.
2 Vic. Please think about the final rules. Card selection, settings (preferably closer to Sodov's), etc.
I was already thinking about it. In my opinion, the optimal option is the one I suggested for the Moscow qualifier - VT under SOD and 5 templates.
VT under SOD is SOD. I would like an intermediate option, similar to the one used in the tournament by Outlaw. Qwerty

Since there are only masters here, I will participate as a "meat shield" :))
Already thought about it. IMHO the optimal option is the one I proposed for the Moscow qualifier - VT based on SoD and 5 templates.
VT based on SoD is just SoD. I would like an intermediate option, similar to what was in Outlaw's tournament.
Make the VT based on SoD as the base, and then players are free to agree among themselves if they wish. It's simpler that way; the finalists won't be equally happy with the rules (any rules!) anyway.
Make it the base BT for SoD, and then players can agree among themselves if they wish. It's simpler that way; either way, the finalists won't be equally happy with the rules (any rules!).
Erik, let's wait until all the finalists have voted. If the majority want to play SoD, there's nothing to be done..
Friends, let's wrap things up. It seems like we have plenty of time, two months, but it will fly by quickly. We need to finish all the qualifying rounds by March 1st. The finalists must confirm their participation; if they cannot, they should choose a replacement from among the other participants. It is more difficult and expensive for Siberia and the Urals to decide. We need to vote on the rules and schedule (May Day holidays or Victory Day). Some haven't played on the World Tournament (WT) before, so they need to practice a bit with the final rules.
And I need to know the exact number of players so I can plan the seating arrangements, book hotel rooms, etc.
I apologize, but there's still something bothering me...

Kyiv used to host qualifying rounds. Let's not forget that the first final was played in Kyiv, and that's where our first champion was determined – and now the city doesn't have a qualifying round.
The captain mentioned somewhere that it wouldn't work out, but there's Gorbik, Sam, and others.
What do you guys think about this? In principle, 2 days of play would be enough for 6-7 people; there's a club, and we have experience too.
I'm willing to wait until mid-April.
Sincerely.
In that same thread, I mentioned that it wasn't possible because there weren't enough people willing to come and play.
I also wrote that I wouldn't be able to travel anywhere myself due to family commitments.
But I can organize an event in Kyiv on any weekend.
The following people were interested:
1. RomarioGrom
2. SEM_56
3. Lider1
4. Captain
5. TERI
6. SuperGrandMaster
7. Gomunguls
If anyone suddenly decides to join, feel free to contact me. The club and accommodation are the cheapest in the CIS, and you've seen the photos, so you know the quality.

Well, those who haven't made it through the selection process in Dnepropetrovsk can still join... theoretically, we can definitely gather enough participants to reach a quorum.
And there's absolutely no need to focus on quantity here – the main thing is to ensure that skilled players make it through, even if the competition isn't very high.
Especially since 8 people is practically the limit for two days of gameplay. In Dnepr, they managed to accommodate 8 people in 3 groups, but it was a tight fit.
2 Vik, 2 Piterius.
Guys, please write who made it to the finals in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Dnepropetrovsk. It's time to start a thread about the finals and decide who will come and who won't.
