I was hoping you would arrive earlier and stay longer... We'll work with what we have. Let's assume that players from Moscow and the surrounding areas (including Yekaterinburg) arrive earlier. The same goes for players from Tambov and Krasnodar. They will be accommodated in a sanatorium or hotel (we have time to decide on the best option). Then they will come to the club. We will conduct the draw, ensuring that players from the same city don't meet each other for as long as possible.

You arrive at 1 PM. It will be difficult to accommodate so many players overnight, so we will start by finding them accommodation – in an apartment, hotel, or somewhere else (we'll decide later). This will take at most an hour.
At 2 PM, we will welcome the players from Siberia.

Therefore, we will start the first round only at 2:00 PM or 2:30 PM!

It's not ideal, but given the circumstances, I will try to negotiate with the club to allow us to play until 2 AM. There's no point in playing later – people won't be able to wake up for the second round.

Rounds 2-4 will be played as usual, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Round 5 will be easier. Some players will probably go home, and others will be tired of playing and want to rest. At best, we'll have 5-6 pairs left. For sure, 2-3 players from St. Petersburg will be competing for prizes by that time.
Or we can start the round earlier, perhaps in the evening of May 3rd – with the option to postpone and finish it in the morning.

But we will find a solution. Although three full days and two half-days for 5 rounds is a tight schedule.

P.S. Bring your laptops; it's not mandatory, but it's recommended. I'm not sure how things will go; we might have to finish some matches at home.

I spoke with Horn. He is generally not against playing against Dust in the first round. Then the others can start the game earlier.

I haven't quite decided yet if it makes sense for me to participate in the random map tournament, or if I even want to.

He was shouting, and he was shouting the loudest ;-)

Alright, let’s give the young ones a chance, and we’ll stick to the old-school two-player matches.

Okay, then we'll put you in round 1 with Sasha in Heroes of Might and Magic II. It will be a 2-player free-for-all anyway. We're looking forward to a good map and reports.

The stars aligned in such a way that I was able to reschedule my May Day corporate event. Although, maybe it wasn't the stars, maybe my signature worked:).
But nevertheless, the option of coming and joining the Russian company is back on the agenda.

I understand that because of Peter's arrival, the first round might not start on the 30th?
By the time everyone gathers, arrives, and has a welcome meeting, etc... :) Moscow is completely silent - it's unclear when they will arrive, probably also in the afternoon?
And when will the games start? In the morning of the 30th or in the afternoon? What should those who arrive before Peter do? There aren't many options for getting there (other than by car), only through Rostov, arriving on the 30th at 8:00 AM, or through Voronezh, arriving on the 1st at 9:00 AM. Therefore, I would like a little more clarity to make a decision.

For example, I have at least 3 possible arrival times: 06:41, 10:11, and 14:07. I would like to finalize the start time of the round.

I was hoping you would arrive earlier and leave later... We will proceed based on what we have. Let's assume that players from the Moscow region (including Yekaterinburg) arrive earlier. The same goes for players from Tambov and Krasnodar. They will be accommodated in a sanatorium or hotel (there is time to make a more convenient decision). They will come to the club. We will draw the lots, making sure that representatives of the same city do not meet each other for as long as possible.

You will arrive at 1 p.m. It will be difficult to accommodate so many players at night, so we will first arrange accommodation – in an apartment, hotel, or somewhere else (we will decide later). This will take at most an hour.
At 2 p.m., we will meet the players from Siberia.

Thus, we will start the first round only at 2 p.m. or 2:30 p.m.!

There is little to be happy about, but due to the exception, I will try to negotiate with the club to play until 2 a.m. Later, it makes no sense – people will not wake up for the second round.

Rounds 2-4 will be played as usual, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Round 5 will be easier. Some people will definitely go home, and some will be tired of playing by that time and will want to sleep. At best, there will be 5-6 pairs left. For sure, 2-3 players from St. Petersburg will be contenders for the prizes by that time.
Or we can start the round earlier, perhaps even in the evening of May 3 – with postponing and finishing it in the morning.

But there will be a way. Although three full days and two half-days for 5 rounds is tough.

P.S. Bring your laptops; it is not necessary, but desirable. I don't know how it will go; maybe you will have to finish the games at home.

We haven't bought the tickets yet, but it seems like there are still some available... we'll let you know as soon as we do. There's also the option of someone driving.

Hello everyone!
We bought tickets for train number 104C Adler-Moscow, arriving on April 30th at 13:06 in Michurinsk-Voronezhsky.
