Or did all 4 rounds play to the very end?
I mean, the draw for each new round cannot be done using the Swiss system if there is at least 1 unplayed game in the previous round. I got the impression (possibly false) that the draws for new rounds were done before all pairs in the previous round had played their match.
VanjaM vs LeonidosIk, in the table they have 3 and 2.5 points. This is a postponed game from round 4, but in the table after 4 rounds, VanjaM has 3 points, although he had 2.5 after 3 rounds.
Both players are given 0.5 points (a conditional draw), and the players move on to the next round. The game is marked as postponed.
When it is played, the players are given the REAL result, according to which they move on to the next round.
A postponed match from the previous round must be played before the end of the current round.
For example, two postponed matches from round 3.
The players had 2.5 points each. A postponed match is set, and they are drawn with 3 points for round 4. During round 4, they play the postponed match and the current match.
After the postponed match, they have 3.5 and 2.5 points respectively. One lost.
They play the current match of round 4, and both win.
They end up with 4.5 and 3.5 points respectively, and they go into the draw for round 5 with these REAL points. And it doesn't matter which match the player plays first: the postponed one or the current one. The main thing is that both are played before the end of the current round.
That's why I wrote that technical results will be given for unplayed matches in round 5.
Because it's the penultimate round.
I think after this, you should understand where VanjaM got his 3 points.
And also, postponed matches appeared not because of my whim, but only because I wanted to find a compromise. And they were not set because of the players' laziness, but for personal reasons, as a result of which the player could not play on time.
This is an ABSOLUTELY NORMAL situation in real chess tournaments, so that the draw is not delayed, postponed matches are set.
So, it turns out that he played 1 round, and you already generated 3 without taking this game and these players into account! (I found 2 technical results there, but I didn't find the 3rd)
Naturally, given the situation, it is clear that it was necessary not to remove from the list of withdrawn players, but to give technical results to those who were affected. Not to set postponed matches, but to set technical results.
But I ALWAYS tried to go to meet the participants.
And if one of them did not agree to a postponed match, then a technical result was set, as, for example, in the match KiNB vs Nolife.
All technical results were set only after long conversations in ICQ.
I did not set any results "on my own".
In general, the post is huge, but the meaning is one: why does VanjaM have 3 points. I hope I explained.
So far, I have only received positive feedback about the tournament in ICQ, and I did not expect to see such outpourings from a leading tournament player.
About your final phrase
In short, put everything in order, and please explain what those murky ponds are in your yard
1) Tone down your commanding tone.
2) I didn't understand the hint about "murky ponds".
Everything is done clearly in accordance with the points scored.
Several players have already written to me in ICQ, and they understand everything perfectly.
And on the forum, HellLighT and Ihtiandr understand everything. :)
Do you suspect me of some kind of manipulation?
I assure you, I have no favorites in the tournament and I treat all participants absolutely "equally".
Are you surprised that you ended up on Gomunguls?
You have the highest number of points, so it's not surprising :)
Gomunguls has been challenging you to a fight for two days now, and you, it turns out, were busy writing an incomprehensible tirade.
There will be NO changes to the draw.
Everything is done absolutely correctly.
So play or you'll get a technical loss :p
I wanted to write a very detailed report about the tournament, but after this post, I no longer have the slightest desire.
Maybe I should have manually created pairs, without using Swiss master 5?
Excuse me. I'm sure there would be even more outrage then.
I repeat, there is no subjectivism in my actions.
In principle, this post is more for the participants of the tournament, we have already talked with you in ICQ.
I am not going to discuss this topic anymore.
I am scared by the size of your posts :)
If there are any more questions, please feel free to contact me in ICQ.
