I have been good haven't i ?
Not one request today lol, in fact a couple of days

Well there is now, and i know it has been mentioned a few times before, but i would like to ask again

Regarding Elimination Tournaments.
We have to set to either 4, 8, 16 players etc...

Fencer, if you have time soon, can you work on the not enough players to start some games in a Tournament issue.
In other words, have byes so the Tournament can still play if the Tournament is not full.

If only 15 players enter a 16 player Elimination, we have 7 games + 1 bye (picked at random)
If only 11 players enter a 16 player Elimination, we have 3 games + 5 byes (picked at random)
If only 25 players enter a 32 player Elimination, we have 9 games + 7 byes (picked at random) etc..etc.., well you know what i mean

It just seems such a shame, to the people that enter these Tournaments, that end up just getting deleted

Most of us that create regular Tournaments, when we create Elimination ones, come across the same problem. We have a great selection of games here on BrainKing, but when we create multiple games in a Elimination Tournament we will always get people for the popular games here (Gammons, Ludo, Poker etc..), but then the lesser played games hardly ever get enough, and end up deleted.

It would be great if the people that bother to enter these, actually get to play

Sujet: Re:
MadMonkey: Good suggestion. It has been proposed before, and I still like it. But instead of giving byes random, I suggest doing the byes randomly only if the tournament is selected to not sort by rating. For tournaments which sort by rating, byes should go to the highest ranked players (just like it would happen in tennis or chess). So, if you have 13 players in a 16 game elimination tournament, the top 3 rated players would get byes.

And, once you have a system of byes, it should be easy to make setting the number of players for elimination tournaments optional (just as regular tournaments have optional lower and upper limits). You could make an elimination tournament with no set number of players. If at the deadline, there are 27 players signed up, you'll have a 5 round tournament, with 5 byes in the first round. If only 12 people signed up, you'll have a 4 round tournament, with 4 byes in the first round.

AbigailII: Yes, never thought of that, i guess that should be taken into account

Like you say, it would then be possible to set a Tournament deadline, and no matter how many enter, it could still be Elimination

Lets hope Fencer agrees

Fencer: Means you skip directly to the next round without playing anyone. Allows non power of 2 elimination games. Kind of shortform for bypass.

I am not sure its possible to have an elimination tournament with an odd amount of contestants?

Puckish: Easy. 13 players. First round, 3 players get byes. The remaining 10 play 5 games, giving 5 winners. Second round has the 3 players with byes, and the 5 winners, giving us 8 players, 4 matches, 4 winners. Third round, 4 winners from round 2, 2 matches, 2 winners. Fourth and final round has the two winners from the third round battling it out.
