Round two of this team tournament just started. I don't know why the players ratings aren't matched fairly. "Le" Club would have a chance if the ratings were all listed in order from top down. Can this be changed?
emmett: I believe the ratings are from top to bottom from when the tournament first started (round 1) - so now that round 2 started it will look out-of-order.
emmett: When round 2 starts, it should be reset into order of ratings highest to lowest for both teams. Round 2 is very important and decisive. What happened here is unfair and I protest. It has left me with a bad feeling about how the tournaments are organized.
emmett: Since you posted about it - I've been trying to think if I like that or not like it. I'm still undecided - but one reason I do like it is that at team could (in theory) get one persons ratings to drop by quickly losing some fake games so they could get more match-ups which could help the team.
For example, lets say a 3 player tournament. A1, A2, A3 vs. B1, B2, B3
B1 is very god, but can't beat A1.. but probable could beat A2. B2 is pretty good, but can't beat A2.. but probable could be A3. So they make it so B3's rating is higher then both of there ratings so B3 plays a sacrifice game with A1 - leaving B1 & B2 with easier games, and in turn a tournament win.
I mean that is an extreme example.... but it could happen.
I think that this tournament could have been fair if the players were properly matched up according to BKR. This is not a single elimination tournament. I protest
if anyone has problems with a game against an opponent that for exemple doesn't move ( or any others motifs) just let Mr Fencer know or just if you think you have the win on that game.. he will let you win the game and if is against me more easy..
he is the boss of this site and he acts has that .. nothing more ...
