Temo: Re: Pick your own colour?

Aganju: What a bizarre setting - why would anyone ever want that? As you say, it certainly shouldn't be the default.

But even so, I would think that since the setting is for "games with a random start position", this would just mean a player would end up with either all white or all black in an individual tournament - having all white in something like 15 consecutive tournaments would still be a little odd. But it makes sense that it's somehow tied to that setting.

Temo: Re: Pick your own colour?

Carpe Diem:

"For games with a random start position generate" just means same start position for all games of the tourn (froglet, pah tum ... have random start position for example), its not about players colors at all.

But if you are very high ranked in a game, elimination tourns ranked by bkr (optional) will put you always at the top of the tourn grid, so you will start all games (example : five in a line, you will have black in all games)..

The problem is this option ('ranked by bkr' ).

Temo: Re: Pick your own colour?

Raistlin: Thanks! That seems to be an equally bizarre option. When I look at the tourneys in question, they say "Sort by BKR: No", but it sure appears that they all are sorted that way, so perhaps that's displaying incorrectly.

I guess I'll send a message to Fencer so he can look at the specific tournaments and tell me if that's the issue. I just think that any setting that allows someone to give themselves (or anyone else, actually) the same colour throughout the tournament should be removed - I can't see any good reason for the existence of such a setting.

Carpe Diem: I think the point is to split seeded players. The second best starts at the bottom and so on. Wha it means is the best player always has white and the second best always black. Hardly fair in games where white has a big advantage.
