I'm preparing a large post about organizational matters. For now, let's talk about accommodation. I've found what I think is a convenient option: the dormitory of the University of Cooperation. 200 rubles per day. In total, considering that we'll be checking in mid-day on April 30th and leaving in the morning on May 4th, the total cost of accommodation for the tournament will be 800 rubles. There will be no students around, as they leave for the weekend. Besides us, there will be no one else in the dormitory. They will allocate an entire wing specifically for us. The rooms are for two, three, four, or five people. The only inconvenience is that the rooms don't have toilets or sinks. However, the dormitory wing is very conveniently arranged, and they are not far away. The dormitory is clean, there are no bad smells, and the staff is very friendly. You can wander around as much as you like, just buy the security guard some candy. Most importantly! It's located in the city center, on our Arbat, the main pedestrian street. The city administration is nearby. In May, it's very nice here; you can go for a walk, visit a club or cafe, or just stroll down the street in the evening – everything is close by. The computer club is also not far away – a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride. I think this is a very convenient option. I ask the finalists and guests to write whether they agree to stay in this accommodation. Especially for those from St. Petersburg: I can't find apartments for 13 people – there aren't any. There are 3-room apartments for a much smaller number of people; if needed, I can inquire about them. My opinion: I've stayed in similar hotels. It's cheap and cheerful, plus it's convenient because it's in the city center.

Is there a large central hall there? Like the main hall in Soviet pioneer camps, with corridors leading off from it.

Yes, the entire common room will be available, I think. If you want to play cards, it's better to rent a VIP room in a decent place; everything is nearby anyway.

Qwerty and his wife will apparently be staying at a hotel. And karaoke is very popular.

Let people decide about the cards; I'm more interested in the possibility of continuing to play at the base after the club closes. We need tables and chairs (or the ability to move them), and power outlets.

Updated the first post; participants of the final and guests should review it. /topic/7308/
It seems that Qwerty and his wife will be staying at a hotel. And karaoke is very much in demand.
2 Qwerty. Okay. We have karaoke; we'll think about the best option for you regarding the hotel.
Regarding the maps, let people decide on their own. I am more interested in the possibility of continuing to play at the venue after the club closes. So there are tables and chairs (or they can be moved out) and outlets.
2 Vik. We’ll find this; it’s not a problem. If necessary, we’ll run an extension cord to the outlet.

The question is about players from Yekaterinburg – Merlin, Mee, Asm, and possibly one more person. We don't have any information yet about how they will be traveling.
I and asm bought tickets to Moscow, but since it's a SkyExpress train that often has delays, we decided to buy train tickets on the spot. MERLIN will be in Moscow even earlier than us; he hasn't said yet how he will get there or when, but he seems to want to join us. It's also possible that 911fx will be with us, but he hasn't given a final answer yet.

Tickets:
there - arrival in Moscow on April 29th at 8:05 AM, so if everything goes well, we can catch the train at 10:20 AM, which takes 5 hours and 20 minutes to Michurinsk, meaning we'll arrive at 3:40 PM, but this is the ideal scenario.
back - departure from Moscow on May 5th at 6:05 PM; we decided to figure out the departure from Michurinsk to Moscow on the spot.

I'll go check out the train station and see what kind of train it is, since it's nearby. So, I'll meet you on the 29th, and it looks like some Muscovites will also be arriving that day.
Return – departure from Moscow on May 5th at 6:05 PM. We'll decide on the departure from Michurinsk to Moscow on the spot.

No problem, there are many trains to Moscow in the evening and at night on May 4th, so you can buy tickets right before departure.

Another suggestion: for the next CIS tournament, grant 3 quotas to the top 3 teams based on the year-end Wargame Tournament (WT) ranking. If they cannot participate, then the next teams in the ranking should be considered, and so on.

But what's the point of planning so far ahead?

The WT rating is a joke. Just like the HeroesWorld rating, or any hero rating in general, which will never reflect the real balance of power.
Although it's been moving for a while now towards those who show up being the ones who play. There's no point in any additional qualifiers. If a person can go to the final, why restrict them? :confused:

Although it has long been clear that those who are able to travel will be the ones playing. There is no point in having any additional selections. If a person can travel to the finals, why limit them?
Nagan has the same position – to gather a large group. That's why he distributes quotas left and right. I don't agree with her, but since he is the organizer, it's up to him to decide.

In my opinion, the optimal format would be 16 people and 4 rounds. Without tourists and inactive players, only strong regulars. Different numbers of quotas for different qualifiers (based on the strength of the team and the number of people who want to participate). So that there is competition in each qualifier.

I'll chime in once on a topic I'm not really involved in. In my opinion, 8-10 people in the final is ideal, and no more.

16 players, an Olympic-style tournament – that's the best! Why waste time with less competitive events?

Nagan, Vic is right.
Why even hold qualifiers then?
You currently have 8 finalists from St. Petersburg and 6 from Moscow.
Are you deliberately undermining the prestige of the final? ;)

Although, as the organizer of the first CIS Heroes tournament, I'm pleased that everything was done correctly in the first tournament – a strict selection, regulations, 18 players, and 4 rounds.
