Results
Played on the league, nobody reports
Rated
no: published before Block 0, so every match is casual
Seeding
by Elo at sign-up close
Tie for 1st place
a tie-break match among those level on points and every tie-break; no draw, as in a knockout
Season chain
separate: tournament matches never mine season blocks

Es geht schon wieder los 😇 Dieses Mal fliegt niemand raus, sondern ein Gewinn lässt einen gegen einen stärkeren Gegner im nächsten Match spielen, während eine Niederlage zu den Spielern führt, die ebenfalls verloren haben.

Questions

How does Swiss work?

Everyone plays every round. After each round, players with the same score meet, and nobody meets the same opponent twice. Good for: Many players, one evening, and everyone should play all night.

What if someone does not show up?

Games run here with a clock, like every game on the site.

How are seeds set?

By Elo at sign-up close, equal Elo by earlier sign-up.

For the nerds: the proof on Nostr

The league signs the tournament as a calendar event and, when it has a solo pool, the draw. Anyone can re-check them with these ids.
