I am playing in the seniors (60+), which has 49 entries, including international masters from Romania, France and Ukraine.
The time control is 40 moves in 90 minutes, with 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout.
The tournament has nine rounds over nine days, with no game on New Year's Day, but two on January 2. Six of the rounds start at 16:00, and three at 09:00.
This is my third time playing in the seniors at Cracovia.
In 2023-4 I scored +4=2-3, performing 37 elo below my rating of 1743.
In 2024-5 I scored +4=1-4, performing 190 elo below my rating of 2011.
Clearly, it is time for a seriously improved performance, or perhaps to look for pastures new.
Wish you good luck there.

It certainly would be very welcome. I am hoping my teetotal status will help see it come to fruition.
