https://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=97457 FAST small fast tournament en https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=97457&ngi=1093112 Chaos: I see the top 4 players were each put into different quarters of the bracket. Perhaps everyone else is randomly placed?

Well, at least the ratings and sorting are 'objective' in the sence that they're done by the computer. I remember in the old days the discussions on rating and sorting seemed to take even longer than the tournament.

As far as the site's sorting algorithm . . . I don't think it is consistent. :) Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:26:38 CET https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=97457&ngi=1092461 cookie monster: players are supposed to be 'sorted by BKR'. I always assumed it meant the players with the highest BKR are matched with those with a low BKR. If, for a tournament, you are in the middle, however close your BKR is to the highest BKRs, you get matched with people with BKRs close to yours, so you are in a disadvantage.

I have not played lukulus, that I recall, so I am guessing, but I have played Jozsef, Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:04:32 CET https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=97457&ngi=1091471 I don't agree. I have the 6:th ranking in this opponent, and get in the first round the 4:th ranked. And the winner will get the top-ranked. So I don't think you should cry. Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:36:19 CET https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=97457&ngi=1091470 or has anyone else noticed that Nothingness always seems to get the toughest opponents or toughest sections in tournaments?
