Hello,
I suggest the following:
Participant - 2 points
Spectator - 1 point
If a person has previously attended a CIS event, their vote will have a coefficient of 1.5.
Each person who registers as a participant must contribute 3,000 rubles (or another amount) to the prize fund. If they do not attend or attend but as a spectator, the contribution is non-refundable.
Thus, a participant's vote will carry more weight because the event is presented as a competition. They support their vote with a contribution, which they undertake to transfer to the guarantor/judge within 3 days after the voting closes. If the contribution is not made, their vote will be counted as a spectator's vote. The voting results, along with a list of those who made contributions, will be published 3 days later.
Thus, the weight of the vote is financially supported, and no one is disadvantaged (unknown players, locals, those who disagree with Merlin, etc.). A person who has contributed money will strive to participate in the competition, and even if they do not make it, the prize fund will still be filled.
P.S. There is a 90% chance that I will not attend the CIS event (the only place that sparked interest during the May holidays was Sochi, but it has been canceled). However, I would like to wish all future organizers not to turn the CIS event into a drinking party for old friends, but to attract new participants and spectators
