ROUND-ROBIN

Round-robin is a pairing-system.  It means you play against everyone in the tourney.  The number of players determines how many rounds.  

Example: 8 players would be 7 rounds.

To determine the final standings, the following tie-breaks are used:

  1. Score
  2. Sum of scores of opponents, but adjusted in the following way:
    • If an opponent does not play a round, it counts as if he scored 0.5 in that round. This holds for latejoin rounds, bye rounds, forfeits or games set by the manager
  3. Average rating of opponents
  4. Random number given at start of tournament
