He also organizes a tournament in Saratov :D

Viewers note that the tournament is distinguished by the high level of participants and uncompromising competition!

The organizers are on it. I'm going to the resort in a week to finalize the arrangements, as not everyone is signing up very actively. I'll make the reservation based on an estimate of 30-40 people... The problem is that a 20% deposit is required to confirm registration.

In short, I repeat the request that the price (accommodation + meals + conference room rental) should be posted in the first post. Otherwise, it will be difficult to advertise the tournament on external resources.

Sash, I heard you. The cost of renting the conference hall will be known in about a week. The cost of accommodation and meals is available on the website of the resort. Perhaps we can reduce something, but it's not guaranteed, as this resort is in high demand, and our booking is just a drop in the ocean for them...

As you can easily guess, sending people to the website for tournament information is pointless; no one will go there to look. Frankly, I myself don't understand how the cost is calculated – is it per person or per entry, and how much does the food cost?

There is a perfectly logical table there; the number of rooms is extensive, and the cost varies... the food is also indicated, which makes it even easier. If you need to calculate the minimum package, then it's not a problem.

I agree with Noom – it’s easier and better to work with specific numbers mentioned in the discussion thread rather than providing a link to a website. To be honest, I haven’t fully figured it out myself yet.

It's time to get things moving. We'll be heading to the base in early February, and we need to finalize the details, as previously mentioned – the demand is quite high. If a significant portion of the group doesn't clarify their plans for the trip by then, we'll have to book two houses for 10 people each (the price is reasonable, and the accommodation is excellent). I remind you that we'll have to pay a substantial deposit for the places – there's no point in collecting a share of the deposit from each person. Regarding the prize pool... I, for example, wasn't aware that the organizers contribute a certain amount to attract some of the players, especially given the current exchange rate, it seems quite absurd. 3-4 people are actually competing for the prize – the rest seem like spectators to me (no offense), and I'm sure many participants would be happy to play even without the monetary incentive. However, I think we're ready to contribute some amount to the tournament's prize pool – let's say 20,000 rubles. Those who want to increase this amount are welcome to join the queue. Let's decide, friends, let's decide... :smile01:

3-4 people are contenders for the prize – the rest seem like extras to me (no offense)

Grizwald is doing well!

2 houses for 10 people each – that’s almost not even funny, because there are already almost 20 people signed up (including the Vigo family), and Siberia hasn’t even signed up yet. I know at least 3 more people from St. Petersburg who are planning to attend this event. Moscow hasn’t said its piece yet, and what would a CIS event be without DD, Predsa? And of course, the champion Stinger should try to defend his title :) Plus, several more people from Moscow expressed interest, and I don’t think the old veteran Merlin would miss this glorious gathering. And these are just the people who immediately came to mind; our people tend to take their time making decisions :) In short, we need to book for about 40 people, IMHO.

What could be surprising here? Bookings are open until the beginning of February – those who have already chosen their rooms are good to go, and those who haven’t will be assigned rooms by that time, plus there are 2 houses for 10 people each – it’s all pretty straightforward.

Ah, I see... so I misunderstood, I thought there were only 2 houses.

as an extra-budget-friendly option, this offer could be considered.

this offer could also be considered as an extra-economy option))

Extra economy means the Chair and Dimension Door on the last remaining single bed :)

In the registration thread, I added information about prices and deadlines in the first post.

By the way, if anyone is planning to travel through Moscow, I recommend checking out the airline "Pobeda"; the prices will pleasantly surprise you!
