Let's clarify things again.
Although, to be honest, I don't know why I need to explain the same thing 50 times if half of the people can't read a long text the first time.
Let's start from the beginning.
1) There's no point in calculating hotel discounts, etc., if we're going to get collective discounts based on the number of participants, the length of stay, the conference hall, etc., for all the items in the tables I attached in the first post.
This means that neither I, nor I and Victor, nor anyone else is going to "rip off," as he put it, our friend Alex for a thousand or two. However, that seems to be enough for him to call me a thief, at the very least, and to manipulate people's opinions. Well, as they say, keep me informed.
Returning to the topic, this just shows that even without discounts, the price is still acceptable for most people. This is probably one of the reasons why this application is still relevant for many.

2) I already wrote to Merlin that this weekend I will go to this bowling alley-hotel myself, with a camera, and discuss all the issues regarding discounts, conference hall equipment, cleanliness, rooms, etc., directly according to the items in my table, and then I will post the information I receive by the end of the weekend. I want to remind you that the organizers have families, and there are unforeseen circumstances, and in the middle of the working week, for example, I have to travel from Moscow to the suburbs, which takes an hour each way, plus 2 hours at the venue to discuss, take notes on all the issues, take photos, and then post it here for discussion. There simply isn't time for that if Victor doesn't do it earlier. And even if he does, a second report will be from me, at least because I promised Merlin that I would do it.

3) I repeat once again - I have no experience in organizing CIS tournaments, which is why, while there was (or is?) time for open voting on the location of the tournament, I had the same time to have my raw application revised by more experienced people in the Heroes community so that it would be viable. By the way, I am very grateful for the feedback on my shortcomings.

Thank you very much for expressing your trust in me and for being willing to wait for the real figures until the end of the week.

Dear sir, I have no complaints, but tell me what else to call it if a reasonable, normal person posts the cost of something for his friends, and it turns out that this cost was actually lower from the beginning... who should be held accountable? He made a mistake, he didn't notice, you understand, it's all childish, and for ANY NORMAL person, it sounds like nonsense. You want to manage a budget of over a million, that's a lot of money, and it's borrowed money, so people will ask about it, and they will ask those who understand...
No offense, all the best, I just tried to clarify that this is not a game, but a serious event.

Please pay attention to the customer review from November 30, 2016.
"The standard rooms are located on the 3rd floor, with a billiards room and karaoke below them. The noise is so loud that it is impossible to rest; they promise that the music will stop by 6 a.m.! I had to move to an upgraded standard room for an extra charge. What's the point of the promotional prices if you end up paying the hotel's regular price! The upgraded rooms have recently been renovated, so there is no refrigerator or bedside lamps, the shower curtain is too short, and the water ends up on the floor. There are only 2 hangers in the wardrobe, and there are no hooks for outerwear in the hallway, so you have to choose what to hang on the hangers!"

I will take this into account and pay special attention to it when inspecting the hotel, and I will also consider other negative reviews about the hotel.
The points that will be the focus are the conference hall, accommodation, food, and discounts.
Please correct me if I have forgotten anything.
I have also taken into account the possibility of booking two conference halls.

Here's some fresh feedback from Volgograd:

We were simply horrified after spending a day at the Dubrovsky Tanhause. The toilets are filthy, the sewage smell is unbearable, the beds are terrible, the dishes are dirty and not washed. In that case, why isn't there any detergent and a sponge? Luckily, we brought disposable dishes with us. It's simply unsanitary for children. The food in the cafe is not tasty, and the tables are not clean. We do not recommend spending the weekend there. It's money wasted.

You'll find similar reviews about any venue. Keep looking.
I ask Bertvolg to officially confirm his arrival with his wife in Korolev. If a decision is made to hold the CIS tournament in Korolev, he should give his word. In fact, to confirm his words, he could already make a prepayment for a double standard room.

Who are you asking? It seems like you've really gone crazy there.

You, you charlatan, who has never even visited other cities in the CIS, who booked places and put the organizers in a difficult position.

Offtopic: Merlin, "placebo" is used to refer to medications that lack scientifically proven efficacy. In your context, this word is not appropriate.

It certainly applies. The effectiveness of Bertvolg in the CIS region has not been proven. More precisely, its ineffectiveness has been proven.

Okay, you convinced me – I'll come and show you the evidence.
I doubt it. I don't need it. You've already let down organizers before. But you did promise to come to Korolev with your wife this year, if anything happens. And that's a full-time commitment.
And, actually, this isn't really for you.
It's for Khivanna, who seems to have joined the process, so he should understand that if someone says they'll come, they might not actually come. (Although, on the other hand, Khivanna already understands that if the Chief Organizer says he got up at five in the morning and went to negotiate with the hotel, it's not a guarantee either...)

Let's calm down a bit. There's been an outright mess going on for several days now. I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Noom.

Fish spoils quickly, and you've already been here for a while. If you don't have time to participate due to real-life problems, don't push it and prepare for next year.
After all, if there's no way to do it yourself, it's probably better not to do it at all than to entrust this task to Admiral.

And let's get the poll going. Korolev's application, which everyone was eagerly awaiting, is now available. I ask Dirty to create an official poll. I ask Dirty to determine the algorithm for counting votes (I personally support Scorp's algorithm, with an adjustment to the price of a vote for those who haven't participated before, setting it to 0.3).
Let's wait until tomorrow for specifics; maybe a vote won't even be necessary. Or we'll run it for 3-4 days, ending on Monday or Tuesday.

I only have one question. Who will be financially responsible for this event? Who is willing to make a prepayment with their own money and insure the event? I don't want to seem rude, but the amounts are quite significant.
