In Single elimination tournaments using byes, what's the criteria to select who get's a bye? In Aventura IX the same people aren't playing a single game and all the pairings are the same (I play every game against the same palyer - over 100 games between the 2 of us)
rabbitoid: This tournament is not sorted by the BKR, that wouldnt be fair with the unbalanced games. I think for the whole tournament just 1 seeding is done. That shouldn't be.

Fencer: That's weird. I choose not sorted by BKR precisely because I wanted to give everybody a chance to get some byes in a few tournaments. It doesn't seem at all that obvious to me that by unchecking an option to sort the players, I get precisely the opposite effect... at least, sorting by BKR would have made it a little more varied than it is now...
I think this should either be changed or a better explanation be placed by that option...
Also, since no game has been finished yet, and no BKR changes have yet occurred, would it be to much to ask if the games were all deleted and the tournament reseeded (or restarted with a sorte by BKR option, at least)?
Fencer: I also thought i'd get more varied opposition in these games. Nothing against Sir Toby but i really would have liked to play against someone else also :)
I really think that if tourney is not sorted by BKR it should be random.. Not sorted by something unknown.
And as a followup, if it was sorted by BKR, would the hightest rated play the lowest in the first round? And if there is byes the highest ranked players get them?
