To make it easier to understand, I'll provide Buchholz's calculation using the example of players who ultimately have 18 points each:
Buchholz calculation for twaryna: Montt 15, Roger_ua 12, Alin 8, Ihromant 15, Dima_Surmay 18, Dust_HL 12, Toganash 15, kamukag3e 19, Antiplayer 19.
Total: 133. And the program calculates 125, where 8 points are missing (this is not a shelf).

Dima Surmay's Buchholz should be 138, not 140.
Redwhait has 140, not 130.5
Georg_ has 132, not 130.

But for Amiloo, on the contrary, the Buchholz should be 105, not 113:
Sanin 15, De_Luxe 12, Dima_Surmay 18, ProtosArchon 15, MrP1nchy 9, Johnny the bony 0, Yostairs 18, Los 6, WAYD 12.

The most interesting thing is where Yostairs gets a Buchholz of 131.5; the calculation gives 123:
Xocenk 24, De_Luxe 12, saneok 24, Court 0, sonic111 15, Amiloo 18, graalzzz 9, Grizvald 3, Georg_ 18
In general, if you calculate the total number of points scored by opponents, it does turn out to be true (with the exception of Amiloo; you have 6 for Los in your calculations, but it should be 9). Therefore, if you simply add everything up, you get:

Dima Surmay 138
Yostaris 123
Redwhait 140
Georg_ 136
Amiloo 108
twaryna 133

If I calculated incorrectly and misled someone, I sincerely apologize. I calculated the Buchholz as Xocenk described, and Sanin also told me the same in ICQ.
The thing is, the program doesn't have a simple calculation, and it has its own view on byes. It treats all unplayed games (whether a bye or a loss) as +0.5 (possibly a bug, since +0.5 fits well into the 1-0.5-0 scoring system but not very well into the 3-1-0 system). Let's try to estimate for our situation. We subtract the points for byes from the total and add the points for unplayed games.

Dima Surmay 138 - 1*3 + 10*0.5 = 140
Yostaris 123 - 0 + 17*0.5 = 131.5
Redwhait 140 - 4*3 + 5*0.5 = 130.5
Georg_ 136 - 3*3 + 6*0.5 = 130
Amiloo 108 - 1*3 + 16*0.5 = 113

I only have questions about the calculations for twaryna. There are obvious discrepancies. It is clear that this is due to the fact that he has an unplayed game in the first round against Dust. But I haven't figured out how and what the system is based on. Moreover, my program gives him 132.2, and Sanin's program gives 125. Why this is the case, I have no idea. :confused: I'll try to figure it out. Perhaps, of course, it's another conspiracy against Twaryna in the OFB :D
