Swiss system: about number of players in groups
Posted: 05 June 2021, 07:59
I am quite surprised: I'm playing a Schrodinger swiss tournament (https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=84874).
The expectation is: 6 players per group. But I think that they're not fair.
I'll try to explain. There are 56 subscribers, and the groups have the following number of players: 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 4 4 4. (=56.)
But playing in a 4 player group is much better that in a 6, and it's awarding the same points (10).
I would have set things differently, like for example 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5. (=always 56). Don't you think so?
