Due to the upcoming New Year's holiday, the deadline for the first round will be until January 8th, inclusive.

Oh, well, if that's the case, I'll sign up. I should be able to start playing around January 2nd...

I don't have many achievements, and my rating is quite low =(

I'm participating – if it's not too late.

Applications are accepted until December 20th, and then we'll see, depending on the number of participants.

NEO and Dave will register soon; I've already explained everything to them, but they're having trouble registering on HW. The idiotic security system with its stupid questions makes it difficult to register... I struggled with it myself last year.
I'll submit my application tomorrow morning; I just have problems with ICQ right now.

I think I'll participate.

Yeah, there is something like that in the security system… I remember helping one foreigner answer a question; it was something similar.

If this idiotic protection didn't exist, the forum would be flooded with an unimaginable number of topics and posts from spam bots. Sometimes they break through the protection, and the entire moderation team spends several days deleting and moving this nonsense to the trash.

Looks like I'll make it and grab the 64th slot :)

Something's not right, did I miss something?

Let's avoid creating artificial pressure and panic. Currently, 71 people have submitted applications. Initially, the tournament was planned with a maximum number of participants: 16 in the main stage + 64 in the qualifying round, totaling 80. But considering how the registration is progressing, which was a surprise to me, albeit a pleasant one, it's clear that we'll need to come up with something. For now, let's stick to the original concept: all those who wish to participate submit applications and, without exception, are added to the "list of applicants." From there, as has been said repeatedly, players will be selected for the main stage, and all others will go to the qualifying round. And the champions still have priority; they will directly enter the main stage without selection – nothing has changed in this regard.

obviously, something needs to be devised.

What's there to think about? Just expand the qualification grid to 128 players, and in 2 weeks you'll have 64 :rolleyes:

If registration continues at the same pace, this is the most reasonable solution; we'll see what happens.

As an alternative, we could create two brackets: the Champions League (upper bracket) and the Europa League (lower bracket). In the first 1-2 rounds, the losers would be immediately eliminated and then start dropping into the lower bracket. And in the end, there would be a super final (forgot what it's called: between the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League).
