Could you provide an example using Redwhait to explain how the Buchholz coefficient is calculated manually for those who are not familiar with it? If I'm not mistaken, Redwhait doesn't have any free wins or free losses.
Let's try.
Redwhait:
1) Sir Davos has 15 points (5 wins), including 2 free wins in rounds 4 and 9. The program doesn't count them, but it considers them as two draws with a score of +0.5. Total: 9+0.5+0.5 = 10
2) Ihromant, same as above, 15 (9+0.5+0.5 = 10)
3) YaR 12 has one free loss in the last round, but it's also counted as +0.5 (12+0.5 = 12.5)
4) herolwy 22, all games played normally, so +22 in the coefficient
5) kamukad3e 19, all games played
6) Roger-ua 12, all games played
7) sonic111 15, all games played
8) SECTOR767 15, all games played
9) HellLighT 15, all games played
Total: 10+10+12.5+22+19+12+15+15+15 = 130.5

Where did the difference of 7.5 points come from? (132.5 and 125)
In the first situation, he gets +15.5 in the Buchholz coefficient (a draw with himself and, accordingly, the sum of his own points, but taking into account that the game was a draw: 18-3+0.5)

and in the second, +12.5 (a draw with Dusto, the sum of Dusto's points, taking into account that the game was a draw: 12+0.5)
As I understand it, in the first case, the system gives him +18 and +0.5 = 18.5 (I don't know why you have -3 in your calculation). I get the figure 132.5.
And in the second, by the same logic, it should give +9.5 as Dusto's result and +0.5 for the draw. Total +10. But why the difference turned out to be exactly 7.5, and not 8.5 as in the calculations, I can't answer at the moment. I get a total of 124, not 125. :smile35: But most likely, I'm not taking something into account. :smile32: For now, this is the only unclear point for me in these calculations.

But globally, this doesn't change the essence of the matter. 124 or 125 - it's not that important, because Tvaryna doesn't pass according to this system in any case. And in the first case, he passes with a margin, but then Reddi doesn't pass. That's why it was decided to give them a tie-breaker game.
