hmmmmm ok PLEASE someone explain to me this:

Madhouse 2009 - Week 24

Madhouse 2009 - Week 24

Byes take effect in the FIRST round on an Elimination Tournament. Looking at these 2 examples something odd is happening. The only way this can work here is if you are having Byes in the next Round & the next etc..etc.. so you could get a Bye to the Final.

To me using Byes, the first column of games should be 4, 8, 16 etc... where the empty spaces are Byes as such. Other games in the Tournament are fine whether they have 5, 7 or whatever amount of players.

PLEASE tell me this is a bug

MadMonkey: Yeah, that is totally whacky!

It looks like things will sort themselves in the next round.... that nobody will get a bye then, but the pairings of who plays who, make absolutely no sense at all?

Why does the guy rated 1900s get a first round bye anyway?

Incorrect. For the first tournament, there are 2 matches, and 4 byes. So the round will have 6 players (winners of the two matches, and the four people with byes). That means there will be 2 byes. Now, it may very well be that the two byes actually "play each other" ("winner" of 13 against 14 against "winner" of 15 against 16), but that means there's still a bye in the round after that.

It's a complete mess.

There is never a need or a justification for byes after the first round in a single elimination tournament. It's easy to calculate the number of byes. If there are N players and X is the next power of 2 higher than N, there should be (X-N) byes. Of course, if N is a power of 2, there should be no byes.
