Subject: Single elimation games

Modified by crosseyed_uk (28. March 2013, 10:33:37)

Maximum number of players: (box) Leave blank if the number of players of your tournament is not limited.
Is there any chance that this could done when setting up single elimation games? At present you have to put 4,8, etc.

crosseyed:
Great idea. In single elimination tourneys your seed number is determined by your rating. The total number of players need not be a power of 2.

The formula is: start off with 2 players. The 3rd player will play the 2nd and seed 1 will have a bye in the first round. 4th plays first. Adding a 5th will play the lowest seed, #4, and the higher 3 will get 1st round byes. Each additional seed will play the lowest seed with a bye in the 1st round until there is a power of two. the next lower seed after that will play the lowest seed and all others above will get byes for the 1st round. simple right?

thechosen0ne: I think you are missing the point. All I would like is to have the option of having unlimited amount of players. Only having 4 players is too small as some players miss out due the time difference. And sometimes I can't get 8 players if I tick the 8 box.
