Temo: random seedings

Great. I requested this feature for in some games one player hass an advantage. For example in a Mancala elimination tournament always the highest rated player wins.

joshi tm: Might depend on who is black and who is white. Or is the higher rated player always white?

Gordon Shumway: Lets say we have an Eliminator 8.

The seeding would be:

1vs8
5vs4
3vs6
7vs2

In fact a second best player you will always play Black, as first rated player you'll play White all the times.

joshi tm: That's not nice ;)
Well, when it comes to unbalanced games like Mancala I'd always prefer 3-wins-matches or something like that, so things get a bit more even. But why not let it be random who's white and who's black?

That's why I always make my Single Elimination tourneys now with 2 win matches to advance. Seemed like it just levels the playing field a bit.......

joshi tm: But it indeed levels it up a bit.. In a normal game currently the Mancala stats are ca. 60% white, 4% draw and 36% black. In a 1 win match a player who starts with black has ca. 38% chance of winning (if we just look at the white/black advantage, not at player skills of course..), in a 2 wins match ca. 44% and in a 5 wins match it is ca. 47%, which is close to even.

Gordon Shumway: I just created a Single elimination for 4 tourney (posted on Tourney board). I put in for random seeding, random starting (when applicable) & 2 wins to advance.

I wonder how it will start that one out.
