A tournament per week is the goal of the "Swiss" system and Gaudin, well done, he did a great job handling such a complex task.
The tournament was designed to be quick, and the name reflects that: "Speed and Pressure."
A conditional result is an excellent way to avoid delaying the draw and reduce the number of technical results (as a last resort). This option is available in the program.
In the "Swiss" system, in case of a tie in points, the following is used in descending order:
1. Head-to-head result
2. Buchholz coefficient (the points of opponents are summed with weighted coefficients of 1=win, 1=draw, 1=loss)
3. Sonneborn-Berger coefficient (the points of opponents are summed with weights of 2=win, 1=draw, 0=loss)
"Wikipedia" is incorrect in this case.
An important difference in the program: Berger distinguishes between a technical win and a regular win, which is why it was chosen.
In general, the coefficients do not reflect the real balance of power and are essentially a "coin toss." Ideally, an additional game should be played for prize-winning places.
