I was wondering why the tournament I had posted was deleted.It didn't fill in the original time,but was only 7 days over.I have seen tournaments waiting to be filled into the third week and they are still listed.
I've wrote it up awhile back since the fischer clock games can really fool many people - heck, I don't even sign up for those types of games anymore. Anyway, I tried to explain with examples in the article and many have found it very helpful in explaining how the different time limits work.
Jim Dandy: Did you set the option of "Days after the deadline before a tournament with not enough players is deleted:" to 7 days, or 29 days (with I think 29 days is the max)? Of course now that it is deleted, there is no way to check I don't think.
Jim Dandy: Plus I believe you can still edit the start date settings before the tournament starts. So if you see that it is about to be deleted, you can edit the tournament to another date to give more time for people to sign in.
"the ideal form of the last rounds should be 1-4 3-2 or 1-8 5-4 3-6 7-2."
This is from the notes blog, and has been in practice from quite some time, but I have never thought it made any sense. You can have the top players meet in the final round (in theory), but why should the second-highest rated player get the bottom slot? Rather, it could be:
1-3 2-4 or 1-4 2-3 for 4 players, and 1-5 3-7 2-6 4-8,
which would still permit the top two seeds to meet in the "finale"
Fencer, Pioneer54, volant and joshi tm: Could we have the choice of all 3. Random could be default, then the way it is now and also the way Pioneer has it (1-5 3-7 2-6 4-8) which is fairer and the one i think would be me popular
Have to wait for Fencer on that one i reckon. A complete 20 player Tournament, that is not complete LOL, thats funny, less game you have to play anyway emmett lol
MadMonkey: Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that it wasn't the late hour that was contributing to my lack of comprehension on this tournament. If Fencer checks this out, the question is why can't player 7 play 9? Answer: probably bug.
