Субъект: Re: Byes

MadMonkey: Already people complain that some players get "too" much credit for winning a tournament when there are only 4 players in the tournament - having only 2 or 3..... I honestly don't think that is a good idea. 4 is a good minimum number.

But as for the elimination tournaments, you should ALWAYS have either 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 spaces for players

4 sign up - have 4 player elimination tournament, no byes

5 sign up - have 8 player tournament, with 3 players getting byes

6 sign up - have 8 player tournament, with 2 players getting byes

7 sign up - have 8 player tournament, with 1 player getting bye

8 sign up - have 8 player tournament

9 sign up - have 16 player tournament, with 7 players getting byes

10 sign up - have 16 player tournament, with 6 players getting byes

11 sign up - have 16 player tournament, with 5 players getting byes

... and so on. At first when I looked at your tournament examples you posted below, at quick glance I first thought... Oh, those look OK - but then noticed they were a 12 section tournament with 8 players, and a 14 section tournament with 9 players... which of course would be interesting to see what the system does in later rounds when there is an odd amount of sections to match people up against.
