This thread is for the discussion of developint the Kaverit tounament formula
The tournaments are now played by a small group of invited players, but the plan is to make it open tournament in future.

We could test the Multiplayer Elimination (Moninpelieliminointi). I.g. there are many groups of 4-8 players and 4 of them continue to the next round.

What do you think

On what basis would the scenarios be selected?

That is as important as your tournament format.

Good question. Now I have simply asked everybody and selected based on their oppinions. If it is technically possible I would have three different type of scenarios that are played after each other. Now we are having two scenarios and their results are summed together manually, because Boardgamearena is lacking the features to do that automatically.

I made a suggestion about this feature to be added:

For an open tournament everything in the tournament must run automatically, so I think some other solution must be found.

The results of the Kaverit Halfmoon + Suomussalmi twin tournament:
l.-2. 297Ronpo + wopith (5)
3.... moz-kito (6)
4.-5. patsyish + markosalaplaya (7)
6.-7. Below Average + TwoTottaBonne (13)
Do you think the results were fair?
Should there be a mechanism to resolve ties?
We can discuss about the tournament at this forum

Looks fair to me

It is more balanced and less random - thank you for good advices Waikirikiri!

I just saw this, but my feedback is: that's a lot of matches on the same scenario. Up to 14 in Round 1 and 14 in Round 2.
