Posts from Discussion of the format and rules for the upcoming Third Tournament of Elements.

Not a great idea – I think it’s better to play a Swiss-system tournament with 5 rounds. I’m afraid we won’t be able to handle a round-robin format. We could play best-of-3 matches between players – one game with a reduced set of templates, one with a full set (or both games with mutual agreement), and decide the format of the third game by a coin toss.

I’m not against it: a compromise and an unconventional tournament scheme…
We randomly draw up a list, and for the first round, we form pairs 1-7, 2-8, 3-9, etc. Then, as usual, we create pairs based on the equality of points scored by players in the previous round.
From the 2nd round, we can do it like this:
- 1st option: Swiss system with the application of the Buchholz coefficient,
- 2nd option: full double-elimination system.

I don't mind: a compromise and an original tournament scheme...

I will only play if it's a round-robin tournament with a strict adherence to the established format; otherwise, I'm out.

If that's the case, I'll also take a break until the new year. Kirill, please remove me from the list of participants.

OK.
I can't tell you what to do and what not to do; you should always do it this way.
You try to make everyone comfortable in the tournament, and it turns out that you're the one to blame for even trying to organize a tournament among those who, as it turns out, don't even want to play...
It's unpleasant.:smile05:

I am "FOR" this tournament format:

Swiss system with full double elimination.

If someone could explain what this is, I would be grateful.
