Subject: mixed games in round robin tournament
I don't know if I've not been keeping my ear to the ground, but I created this tournament and it's on of those round robins where you play each opponent in two seperate games/matches. I appear to be playing each opponent with different games.

2020 Octogammon 12/May/14

I thought you played two games of the same type with each opponent. Has something changed? Have I imagined the whole thing?

BGBedlam: I think this is what happens when you select the "random game" type of tournament. Now you know for next time.

BGBedlam: I can't remember ever playing a 2 game match in random format where you receive 2 different games in one match "per" player.

Marshmud: it could be that the setting 'a random position for each game' applies to that too, and results in 'a random game for each game'?

Aganju: No not at all. Just check any random tournament. For a easy example, check the team tournament random tournament. You will see that every players 2 game match are the same random game.

Marshmud: Maybe it's different for team tournaments. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch of the imagination. But I have noticed it only recently, in another regular random tournament I'm in. Not Team. And I'm POSITIVE, it wasn't that way before

Subject: Re: mixed games in round robin tournament
Marshmud: I think it is something that recently changed. Because I don't ever remember playing 2 different games with the same player in a random tournament, and I think it is tied to "random position for each game" as Aganju says.

I love the random tournaments and have played a lot. This "phenomenon" is something I have only recently noticed.

rod03801: Yes I agree Rod. First I ever noticed where both games were different. Actually its a good idea. I doubt if its a newly added feature.

Marshmud: I am surprised that any code was changed. Many people complain for years about Fencer not changing/adding/correcting anything at all - so is this what he would do first?
Could be, but I am surprised.

Aganju: I think it's a "bug".. but it's a bug i personally like.

rod03801:

I like it too. In future random tournaments I will make the selection 'random position for each opponent' in the hope this is what caused it.

Subject: Re: mixed games in round robin tournament
BGBedlam: That selection is meant to give players different boards, for example the game knight fight. You don't want all players to have the same board,. Another example would be the game Pah Tum.
