Re: Why does BGA claim that *other game site* is illegal?

This is all that need to be said on this issue, all the rest is unnecessary controversies. My first answer to this should have been enough, but it was flooded by other answers. I don't want to lock this thread, so this answer is going to be posted again to make sure it is not missed. I miss your un...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

We have now the following table: http://captainstone.de/Misc/swiss2.jpg The column with enemy points seems to make strange calculations. I was assuming that it counts the points of all players achieved in total in the tournament. But then it is not understandable how someon could achieve 13 points....

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

Thanks for your work in getting these tournaments set up! For Swiss tournaments, could an option be added to split the maximum number of players out from the preferred number of players? Right now, we can't set a tournament up for 2-3 player tables, preferring 2p. For some games, I'd rather run one ...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

Thank you very much for getting this new system set up! We are really enjoying the ability to set up casual tournaments with our friends. :-) We have, though, run into another case where the pairings don't seem to make sense. We just started a Small Islands tournament with 11 players, set for 4 play...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

We found another corner case, where points in tournaments don't quite work out! In a tournament for Ninety-Nine (which requires 3 player games), we had one player not show up for R1. The other two players in their game received a shared victory, so with the 4/2/0 payout they each received 3 points (...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

it also did strange things to points, since the 4-player games would pay out 6-4-2-0 for the four players (with some sharing in case of ties), while the 2-player games paid 6-4, so being in those not only gave you a much better chance of victory, failing was better too! This is a choice we made, th...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

We had something strange come up in a live Can't Stop swiss tournament. We had 10 players register, but one failed to show up for the first round. They were correctly dropped, which gave us 9 players left. Instead of running the rest of the tournament as 3-player games, each round had a 4-player gam...

Re: Tournament module 2020 UPDATES: Swiss system v2

We are doing a 10-player Can't Stop tournament, and the Round 2 pairings are slightly off. We have one table with players ranked 7th, 8th, and 9th; one with players ranked 4th, 5th, and 6th; and one with players ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 10th. I don't believe Swiss pairings should put the last-place...
