Twin Tin Bots

[Enema]

I want to start a tournament for Twin Tin Bots.
As far as I can work out I can only do it with 2 players per game.
I want to have 4 players per game.
Why the restriction?

All tournaments are limited to two players at this time. Someday we hope they will be able to expand this.

Why the restriction?

The tournament system requires handling a lot of stuff, e.g. making sure that players are properly mixed, etc. It is simply easier to manage one when there are only two participants in each match. So yes, this is doable to some extent, but requires coding (which in turn is subject to priorities in doing new stuff here).

I elaborate some thoughts on it here: https://github.polettix.it/ETOOBUSY/202 ... urnaments/

I understand and appreciate this.
However, many games are pretty naff with 2 players.

I'm putting my thoughts about this in a blog posts series, starting here: https://github.polettix.it/ETOOBUSY/202 ... urnaments/

If you're willing to manage the tracking yourself, you can organize a tournament and coordinate it e.g. through the forum, or Discord, or whatever other collaboration site where all players have access. I'll soon post a blog entry with some hints for 3-players games, using this for tracking: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

With 16 participants for Twin Tin Bots, you can adopt the following scheduling of 4-players matches over 5 rounds - everybody gets to play against everyone else exactly once in the tournament. I can help you adapt the 3-players version if you're interested.

round 1:
( 1, 2, 3, 4)
( 5, 8, 11, 14)
( 6, 9, 12, 15)
( 7, 10, 13, 16)

round 2:
( 1, 5, 6, 7)
( 2, 8, 12, 16)
( 3, 9, 13, 14)
( 4, 10, 11, 15)

round 3:
( 1, 8, 9, 10)
( 2, 5, 13, 15)
( 3, 6, 11, 16)
( 4, 7, 12, 14)

round 4:
( 1, 11, 12, 13)
( 2, 6, 10, 14)
( 3, 7, 8, 15)
( 4, 5, 9, 16)

round 5:
( 1, 14, 15, 16)
( 2, 7, 9, 11)
( 3, 5, 10, 12)
( 4, 6, 8, 13)
