Guys, it's mid-January, and there's practically no information about CIS 2017. I'd like to know if there are any people interested in organizing it, even though it's not a particularly rewarding task. Or should we start making other plans for May? If anyone is considering it, please post in this thread. The main thing is not to delay, as it's very difficult to organize such an event in just a couple of months. Maybe some helpers will appear. I can offer advice based on my experience organizing CIS 2016, so that we don't repeat the same mistakes.

Should I leave a little bit for you?

And what about the plan, do you still need help?

I suggest closing the poll, as it is essentially pointless.
Currently, there are no concrete proposals for organizing a CIS tournament. There are only ideas and suggestions, nothing more. This topic has stirred up interest, and people (those who want it) have become more active. We will now wait for more specific information and make decisions.

It would be helpful to create a separate poll regarding the timing of the tournament, so that organizers can get specific numbers for specific dates.

In any case, the decision regarding the future of the CIS tournament and the consideration of votes on all related issues should be made according to the formula (or a similar one) that I proposed: the value of a vote is determined by the number of previously attended events (because, as practice shows, every year many people loudly declare their intentions... but don't actually show up). New faces are great, but they should not be the determining factor.

At the moment, we have two specific people who are willing to take on the responsibilities of organizers. These are AlexXL and freesha. We are waiting for them to provide specific information in the form of approximate figures.

I agree, Merlin, and... LADIES and GENTLEMEN, I am withdrawing SOCHI as a candidate (as there are a thousand risks associated with this city that I am not ready to mitigate right now), and I suggest you consider the city of VOLGOGRAD. The budget will be available early next week, covering three to four resorts. Good luck to everyone!!!!
Considering the experience gained from hosting the CIS 2015 and CIS 2017 tournaments, Volgograd would be an ideal location!!!

the value of a vote is determined by the number of events attended previously (because, as practice shows, every year a lot of people beat their chests and boast... but don't show up).

As for me, I haven't been boasting, so please consider my vote as one of the select few.

New faces are great, but they shouldn't be the determining factor.

However, the votes of players (who have not participated before) residing in the location where the CIS is held should not be ignored (at least, they should have more weight) according to the formula above, as they are much more likely to participate directly in it than, for example, players (who have not participated before) from another, even a nearby, city.

however, the votes of local Heroes players (who haven't participated before) in the CIS region should not be ignored (at least, they should have more weight) in the above formula, as they are much more likely to participate directly in it than, for example, Heroes players (who haven't participated before) from another, even a nearby city.

In other words, do you really want a repeat of the 2010 voting situation?
Giving two-tenths of a vote to someone who has never been here is still somewhat acceptable.
However, there is a huge difference between someone who has been here at least once and someone who has never been here at all.
The target audience for the CIS region is those who come every year, and they should be the ones to determine the location in the first place.

I think that, given the experience of hosting the CIS 2015 and CIS 2017 tournaments, Volgograd would be ideal!!!

I only see one advantage of Volgograd - there's a chance to get Gomunculus and watch him play in a match with LuckyF.

To be honest, I'm not aware of the situation in 2010. It's 2017 now.
Besides, it seems there's nothing left to discuss regarding the location: Volgograd was recently chosen, and Yekaterinburg is next in line :smile20:.

Damn, I can't make it again. I'm going to Ukhtus to go snowboarding. But as I mentioned before, I'm happy to help with transportation and meeting/picking up guests.

Here, our Ekaterinburg team, under the clear leadership of Freesh, is preparing an event of a high standard. All you have to do is travel from point A to Ekaterinburg.
Today, we are organizing the second meeting... and after the first one, it became clear that CIS 2017 is expecting a new level:smile20:

I'm saying this so that those who believe the voting is closed and are going to the capital of the Urals can put a "+" in the chat.
Thank you!

I won't be able to come, I'm sick and have a fever.
Also, I'm still available to meet and transport people.

Which chat should I put the "+" in? In the WT chat?

Regarding the topic. I'm putting a "-" in the chat because the voting on the location for CIS 2017 hasn't even started yet. It's difficult to consider something closed that hasn't even opened...

I know that Ekaterinburg will have a strong application (respect to Freesha).
But I also know that Vladivostok will have an equally strong application (respect to AlexXL).

Therefore, I suggest not stirring up trouble prematurely, but waiting for the information.
