| ''Um. We don't feel this is going to be a problem anymore. The following text refers to the case where we thought only ~30 people would be interested =)'' |
| In last decade and a half, there has been a lamentable lack of non-handicap tournaments in Finland. Up until very recently, there has not been the slightest hope of anything else, and hence Takapotku. To make it as interesting as possible for the participants, we want to make the tournament as strong as remotely possible, so here we are. |

| Certainly. This is reasonable, but it takes a bit of explanation. In last decade and a half, there has been a lamentable lack of non-handicap tournaments in Finland. Up until very recently, there has not been the slightest hope for anything else, and hence Takapotku. To make it as interesting as possible for the participants, we want to make the tournament as strong as remotely possible, so here we are. |
| We feel the participation limit is not going to be a problem anymore. However, it's ''still'' remotely possible to get a full house, regardless of switching to ''much'' bigger premises. In that case, we'll include the 120 strongest pre-registered participants, thouhgh surprise foreigners will still have piority. __Coming from far, far away is a sure way to participate, regardless of the strength limits or preliminary registrations.__ The Finns have been told to beware. |

| This does not mean we'd overlook inconveniences like coming from abroad or from Lapland, most especially for foreigners. We're fully prepared to make exceptions for them. __Coming from far, far away is a sure way to participate, regardless of the strength limits or preliminary registrations.__ Tournament organizers reserve every right to do this. |
|
| Not only that, we're still prepared to increase the number of allowed participants upon need, by changeing the tournament venue (we're running late here, but it's remotely possible) or by overflowing some of the games to nearby pubs (no lack of volunteers, we're sure; this is Finland after all.) |
|
| Furthermore, the registration via Wiki will close at latest an hour before the ferry to Helsinki leaves Stockholm, so everything should be well in hand. Apart from surprise foreigners, we're not sure we will allow any major registration at tournament venue. The Finns have been told to beware. |
