17. April 2009, 14:51:45 Subject: Single elimination tournaments In single elimination tournaments, many times the number of players that sign up isn't enough to start that tournament. For example, a single elimination tournament with 64 players, but only 39 sign up, will be deleted. So, why not create an option, when a person is created a new tournament, to allow that a single elimination tournament with 64 players, but only 39 sign up in time to deadline, can start with 32 players (the 32 first players to sign up)? My idea is: single elimination tournament with 64 players (for example) and if the number of players isn't enough, will there be an option to allow start it with 32 first players to sign up or 16 players or 8 players or 4 players. And of course, the creator will be free for active 32 players only or 32 and 16 players or all options or don't active anyone. This way, we can have in same tournament: Backgammon: 64 players Hypergammon: 64 players Chess: 32 players Checkers: 16 players etc. 17.

Its so sad when Tournaments get deleted when they are just a few players short. Its quite simple to do, but alas we keep waiting and hoping that Fencer will get time one day to code it  17. April 2009, 15:33:34 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments  MadMonkey: YES - I think Byes would be the best solution. I would not think it would be too hard to (from the programming side) image putting "fake" ghost players called "empty" into all the empty spaces, and just have them "lose" against whoever they play so the real player automatically moved into the next round. 17. April 2009, 15:49:39 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments coan.net: Agreed, that is how i imagine it For example, in a 64 player Elimination, only 50 enter, players 51 to 64 are called Fake (BYES or whatever) then they first are placed equally throughout the first round draw. Then the entries are placed. If you are lucky to get drawn against a Fake player, you go through to the next round. So simple  Its the most major thing the site is missing  17. April 2009, 16:35:36 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments MadMonkey: And I forgot the first thing the system should check. First check if a smaller tournament will work. (So if it was setup as a 128 player tournament, and only 30 players signed up - then scalling down to the 32 player tournament will be the first step. Then second step is to fill with 2 fakes/byes. 17. April 2009, 16:38:09 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments coan.net: oh, but of course  17. April 2009, 16:39:06 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments  coan.net: I hope nobody would complain if the system still deletes tournaments with less than 4 signed players.  17. April 2009, 16:58:31 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments Fencer:  If we could not get 4 people to play, then that would be bad lol  17. April 2009, 17:41:20 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments  Fencer: These are the best tournament's here .My last one almost filled.But who care's.But alot of games don't because of lack of interest.Since you changed the system so the creator doesn't get ever game back now.It is fun looking in all the tournaments to find them to try & beat a top player:))) 17. April 2009, 17:33:59 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments  coan.net: And a few more tricks so that those ghost losses don't mess around with ones BKR... 17. April 2009, 18:03:27 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments Snoopy: Of course not lol, i think that is what pauloaguia meant as well  17. April 2009, 18:16:08 Subject: Re: Single elimination tournaments MadMonkey: Oh man... I was planning on creating a 128 player tournament, sign myself up, and start it to get 127 free wins!!!!! (oh yes, getting a "Bye" should do nothing with ratings or stats - should not count in the system as a win, lose, or even game played. Just kind of "pushes" you to the next space waiting for the next round to start. Of course having games in other rounds start if both players are ready would be another request, but think we should stick with one request at a time. ) |
