Posts from A small, informal tournament among club members in Moscow? (February 14-15-16)
Auto-translated
What do you think about this idea?
I will describe my thoughts on this in more detail tomorrow. As I mentioned in the main post, the idea came spontaneously, and as they say, there's no harm in asking.
- Tournament format: m200 on control, 8+4+1, and I think we could add Jebus Cross L on a 16+6+1 timer, but without penetrating the two neutral zones.
- Tournament schedule: possibly Friday evening + Saturday + Sunday, though most likely it will be Saturday + Sunday.
- Venue: this depends on the number of out-of-town attendees. We could consider renting out the entire club, which has storage rooms and where the admins might allow those who need it to sleep to save on accommodation — but to push for that option, we need to know who's coming, who needs housing, etc. Alternatively, we could rent a flat on a daily basis for all out-of-town visitors, and then hold the event at the Playground — a notorious spot, located inside a shopping center where you can buy good draft beer. There's one downside though: you can't bring your own, but I think we can negotiate that. Also, the hall is divided into two zones; we could rent one wing and get relative coziness. There's also a plasma screen there, so in theory we could stream. Oh, and right across the street there's an excellent beer house — I forget the name, I think it's Black Wood — the prices are a bit steep, but the place is awesome.
This is just a brief overview for now. A more concrete plan can be made once we have at least an idea of the expected quorum.
If the event takes place, and I don't see any major obstacles to it at the moment, then:
- the tournament format will be m200, with 8+4+1 matches.
The audience welcomes this proposal (without dJobus). It's spectacular, colorful, and you can play 2 rounds a day.

- Venue: this depends on the number of out-of-town attendees. One option is to rent out the entire club, which has back rooms and the admins will allow those who need it to sleep there to save on accommodation, but to make this option work, we need to know who’s coming, who needs housing, etc. Another option is to rent a daily apartment for all out-of-towners and hold the event at Playground, a somewhat seedy place located inside a shopping center where you can buy good draft beer. The only downside is you can’t bring your own, but I think we can arrange something. Also, the hall is divided into two zones; we can rent one wing and get relative comfort. There’s also a plasma screen there, so in theory, streaming could be possible. Oh, and right across from it is an excellent pub—though I’ve forgotten the name, I think it’s Black Wood; prices are a bit steep, but it’s a great spot.

So, here are my thoughts, which I've already mentioned on the streams. We should only do M200. In short, that's it.

Club - ... Saturday + Sunday (2 rounds per day, up to 16 participants). In short, that's it.

So, here are my thoughts, which I've already shared on streams. We should only do M200. Either at a club, or as a closed gathering at a rented apartment (with a maximum of 8 participants + a few guests). For the club, we could do either a Friday night into Saturday (Olympic format, 3 rounds, 8 participants), or Saturday + Sunday (Olympic format, 2 rounds per day, up to 16 participants). 3 days is definitely not an option. And even 2 days might not be enough to keep people interested. That's the gist of it.
