Reviews of turns
After conducting the tournament, knighthood gazed at the main tournament organizer in silence:
Gorbik felt growing tension and thought it would be great...the thought left him here. A representative of the company "Buka" Maxim Mihalev came to his help and proposed to reward the participants. Gorbik kindly consented.
In the Personal tournament conducting by the double-elimination system, the prize-winning places were arranged as follows:
1. AIR (he got 600 dollars)
2. Antal
3. Champion
4. Flamingo
In the Command tournament (2 men in a team) conducting by the Olympic system, the prize-winning places were arranged so:
1. RR - 2 (AIR, Antal)
2. Krasnodar - 1 (GerinG, Longman)
3-4. HommPortal - 1 (Champion, Salomeya)
3-4. HommPortal - 2 (DUK, Melkor)
There were also encouraging prizes
To all participants' surprise Gorbik, manager of the project
www.hommportal.com, rewarded himself with a license compact disc. And a mouse pad, on which all tournament participants had signed. (one had to leave the second mouse pad in the club).
And then, showing true orc's politeness, he rewarded the company "Buka" representatives with license compact disks and a poster from the company "Buka".
And also some encouraging prizes were given to the crew “Moldova” and to other players.
So nobody stayed without presents. In conclusion Maxim Mihalev ("Buka") made a speech having expressed his satisfaction by the conducted event and wished further achievements to the project www.hommportal.com
After that the pause was filled with clinks of glasses
