Posts from Tournament format: "Speed and Aggression".

Basically, that's the topic :) Given the conflict that has arisen between supporters of the two systems, I propose conducting a poll to resolve the issue amicably. Please write comments stating your position. Only the votes of players who have applied to participate in the tournament will be counted, including those who submitted their applications after the 32-person limit was reached, i.e., wassermann, Satir, Kilgor, and Ihtiandr. I will state my opinion: I have a great desire to spend time in a pleasant and engaging way by participating in the tournament, and as a newcomer, I advocate for the Swiss system so that I can play with the "pros" in the same tournament for a longer time. Even if I only get 30th place. As an organizer, it is also extremely important for me to ensure that ALL those who wish to participate can do so, but I must also take into account the position of all interested parties. I am ready to run the tournament using any system, even the "Brazilian" system. So, friends, let's vote actively. The results of the poll will be announced today at 7:00 PM Moscow time, and the draw for the tournament will be held at 8:00 PM Moscow time, using the system that receives the most votes. If the votes are split equally, which is highly unlikely, I will run the tournament using the Swiss system. Added 3 hours and 50 minutes later I wanted to add a few words about the Swiss system after consulting with knowledgeable people. We will have 6 rounds. The participant with the most points wins. The ranking among participants with the same number of points will be determined by the following additional criteria: 1) Head-to-head result 2) Sonneborn-Berger score

The Berger score of a participant in a chess tournament is the sum of the scores of all opponents that the participant won against, plus half the sum of the scores of the opponents that the participant drew against. The idea behind the application of the coefficient is: of two participants with the same number of points, the one who won against stronger opponents who scored more points is stronger. Therefore, the participant with the higher Berger score is awarded a higher final place in the tournament. A win against a participant with zero points does not contribute to the Berger score.

If we still have participants with the same results, then an additional match will be played. Approximately like that

I'm in favor of a system where I can play more, especially in the Swiss format.

We convinced them to play Swiss-system, and there are many who want to participate. Playing a double-elimination tournament with 64 players and random map generation doesn't seem ideal, and we also want to play longer on the new map templates.

It’s not necessary to play with holes in the bracket. You can divide the last registered players into pairs and hold qualifying matches, as I already suggested, so that only 32 players remain.

a Swiss unit might also be good, but a double unit is still better.

double, it’s more interesting there.

"Double elimination" is a great system, but it takes a long time, and if you play with subgroups, the tournament dedicated to February 23rd will end sometime in the summer. :)
With the "Swiss system," you can run the entire tournament quickly and efficiently in 3-4 days, considering fast templates, for example, 2 rounds on February 23rd, 25th, and 26th.

Even just for variety, you can play a Swiss-system tournament!!!
All tournaments now use double elimination, but here you can easily try something new (or something good that's been forgotten) with quick templates.

I've never played using the Swiss system before; I'd like to try it out.

For quick templates, a fast system would still be better. I'm in favor of the Swiss system.

Poll is closed.

We are following the official tournament thread.

So, only 24 people voted, but there are 32 options in the list; maybe they would have voted for a double option.

We assume that those who didn't vote don't care which system is used.

They weren't indifferent, it's just that work kept them busy.

Since the tournament has already started, the topic is closed.
