[BUG?] Swiss system tournament, finishing after 5 rounds when was created with 10 rounds.

[Hardin2000]

Hello, I just finished a swiss system tournament That was a stage 2 of a tournament, with round robins groups on stage 1.
And the tournament was finished by BGA, with only half rounds on Stage 2. It was literally cutted by BGA in Half,

I had a nice 2nd place so i can't complain from it. But usually when this things happen, some other players will whisper me because I created the tournament.
And this is not fair because it is a problem caused by BGA. Additionally if I promised to people 10 games on stage 2, we should have played 10 games and not 5.

Tournament format :
-- Games are 1x1 player.
-- Stage 1: 10 groups of 13 players in round robin, the first 5 of each group advanced to stage 2.
-- Stage 2- Swiss system with the 50 best from phase 1, with 10 rounds, that BGA cutted in half

Best regards.

This is very weird! It would be great if a BGA admin could explain why Stage 2 of this tournament stopped after Step 5, when it was supposed to have 10 matches.

It's been well over a year since you posted this here, but I've now reported it as a bug: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=127102

Please green-thumb my bug report.

I went back and found that in four instances where I created a "Groups stage" tournament where stage 2 was Swiss system, BGA played an incorrect number of matches in stage 2. But in some other cases, the number of matches played was correct. Here is my data:

https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=251594 six matches specified for stage 2 but five were played (bug manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=247468 six matches specified for stage 2 but five were played (bug manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=234065 six matches specified for stage 2 but five were played (bug manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=199719 four matches specified for stage 2 but five were played (bug manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=189965 three matches specified for stage 2 and three were played (bug not manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=173061 three matches specified for stage 2 and three were played (bug not manifested)
https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=173058 three matches specified for stage 2 and three were played (bug not manifested)

This and the new update to automatically determine the number of Swiss rounds and the fix to two-stage tournaments that were broken by the new update shows that there is someone actively doing dev work on the tournaments framework!

Yeah they are clearly working it which is great. Is there anywhere that they communicate their updates or explain how they work? I couldn't find any announcement.

They usually communicate these kinds of things in the Release Summaries, but for some reason haven't said anything about this there.
