I think byes would be the best solution (over kicking people out of a tournament)

When the deadline hits, the system should:

1. First lower the number of spaces to the lowest possible - so if it was setup as a 32 player tournament, but only 14 players joined - automaticly switch to the 16 player tournament.

2. Then randomly (or I think some would say highest ranked?) pick 2 people to get the automatic byes into the next round.

I think for Fencer, just needs to image a "fake" user called bye who will be inserted into every empty space. This "fake" user automatically "loses" the game which allows the next person to move on. All games are "not counted" and "not rated" - that way the system will move the players on to the next round.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, wouldn't that mean the whole tourney would have to be not counted and not rated? I imagine most people wouldn't want to be a part of that.

Hmm.. actually tournaments can't be not counted and not rated, can they?

Maybe I'm just confused.

Sujet: Re:

rod03801: What I meant was the byes are not counted - like you put an imaginary "fake" person in that spot to "play", and automatically lose to let the player move on to the next round. (Where the fake player's games that are automatically lost are not counted as a win/lose or anything - just there long enough to get the person into the next round.) - kind of a cheating way to program in byes into the tournament programming.

Sujet: Re:

coan.net: That would be the best solution. MadMonkey's sugestion would be acceptable if Fencer refuses to do the bye system though. It realy is a problem especcially with trying to make tourneys for all games. some games like backgamon, and chess are very popular and you may get 128 people others though you may only get 7. There is no reason that both should not run if max was set to 128 and min to 4

coan.net: I knew you would be able to word this better lol

That is all that is needed, all empty spaces are replaced by an "fake" player, that does exist

How simple is that
