Posts from Winter Championship for Heroes 3 [Kyiv-2014]

1. The rules have been updated, so it would be good to either write them in the first post or provide a link where they can be read.
2. Maps. People may come from different Heroes communities and even different eras of Heroes, so it would be good to list 5-7 popular maps so that players can choose 3-4 suitable ones when selecting a map.

Is anyone from St. Petersburg going? How much are the tickets? Alex checked, and the plane tickets are around 13k.

I looked at the options. This is one of the few adequate options for a large group of people when it comes to cottages. It has 9 rooms (possibly not 1 room with 2 beds). I think there will be about 30 sleeping places. It has a large area. Of course, the price is a bit different. The price for cottages with 2000 UAH is usually for 10 sleeping places – the rest have to sleep on folding beds, or something like that.
The price for this one is about 200 UAH / 800 rubles per person. Approximately, that's how much I pay for a one-bedroom apartment with my wife when we go there – it comes out to 200 UAH each. Plus, this place can accommodate a practically unlimited number of guests if someone from Kyiv or someone who comes for a day or two wants to visit – they can even sleep in the living room, since there are 400 square meters of living space.

I mean, either we look for something like this, or it should be a recreation center. Smaller cottages, in my opinion, are a hassle – you have to sleep in the corridors or on chairs.

P.S.: We'll decide at the beginning of December. If I come, it will be Papik + 1.

This option works well when you can definitely gather at least 30 people. For now, I don't see such activity. This may change by the beginning of December when many decide whether to come or not. Now I will be looking at various options for venues, and we will gradually decide. But yes, the option of 200-250 UAH per day per person is being considered. The main thing is to understand the real number of participants and, based on this, we will choose the optimal option :smile12:

Experience from past CIS championships shows that the actual number of participants becomes clear on the first or second day of the tournament. Therefore, it is better to choose a venue where you can arrange for as many beds as will actually be needed. Booking anything in advance carries the risk that there will either not be enough places or you will have to pay extra.

The players are very undisciplined... and the closer to the venue, the more undisciplined they become. Even of the 10 people shown on the first page, only 7-8 will actually show up.

I suggest a draft of 5 templates and control:
1. 2sm4d(3) - 8+4+1 (maybe 10+6+1?)
2. M200 (draft of 2sm2s, balance, skirmish) - 8+4+1
3. Diamond - 16+8+1
4. Jebus Cross - 16+8+1
5. 8mm6a - 16+8+1

What do you think?

Therefore, it's better to replace 8mm6a with something like L-U/L+U. Obvious options are Mini-Nosta and Anarchy.

I suggest excluding 8mm6a. As practice shows, even a single allowed match on this template in Novosibirsk lasted about 13-15 hours without a break, and this is not even the worst case...

This problem is solved by a good шах.timer. I saw this papal game with a timer of 4000+400 on a full WT ;)
