But it could be eight, ten, twelve..
On netchess.com I always play 1 pr.trnm. 12 players at the time (22 games)
But on that site, there are even tournaments, all against all, up to 24 players. Gives you 46 games at the same time... |
I think that, rather than limiting the total number of people in the tournament, it would be better to do as the AUTO-xxx tournaments here do, and divide the field into groups and have several rounds. Of course, for fair tournaments, the groups need to have equal ability, which the groups here don't because they're arranged randomly.

Agreed.

This is what happened to me in Auto-xxx tournaments here:
1.In the final round me and Pl.A ended at 5 points.Player B had I point.
Although the score between me and Pl.A was 3-1 in my favour, I did not win the tournament. There is no any sports, where this can happen.
2.In another final round, me and Pl.A ended with a 2-2 score. Although I had 12p. in the first round and 4p in the second (total 18p) , and Pl.A had 9, 4, 2 (total 15p.), I did not win this tournament as well.
Frustration and for me an unfair tie-break system.
This cannot happen in tournaments, all play all, Richerby.

Kloosterveen,
This is another (serious) problem about the tie-break that was already reported more than once.
Beco.

I SUPPORT THIS (AGAIN)!
I actually signed on to start just this thread but since it's already here I'll show my support.
