If I create a Daily Tournament with 3 groups of 3 players, a total of 9 players, and I set the setting: "1 advances", then how many rounds will the tournament have? Someone moderator or staff answer, or someone with experience.

It depends. Assuming no ties, 2 rounds.

I use tiebreaks so it has to be 2 rounds. Thank you.
There can still be ties on the tiebreaks which could allow more than 1 player in a group to advance. In that case, it could go 3 rounds, again, assuming no ties

But chess.com uses multiple tiebreak systems, right? What are the odds that none of the tiebreak systems can decide? Also, another question, if it is set that two players advance to next round in a group, and there are 4 groups of 4, then it is 16>8>4>2? But then, what decides that who is the third?

#6 read our conversation with Martin_Stahl and you'll know. But only answer if you have experience, and you are sure (don't be a troll please as your username suggests)

No, only one tiebreaker is used in Daily
In the latter question, the last round is 3 with 4 players. Once there is only one group, that's the last round.

#8, why? That is lame. I know how the tiebreak system though, and it has pretty low odds to be even.

I added an answer to your second question but ties are not actually that rare. There will be groups with very well matched players that swap wins, ending up tied.
It's not all the time but it's not rare either.

That's the tiebreak method used in Daily events.

I know the method. It is calculated against each player by this formula: points scored by the player multiplied by the points scored against the player equals your tiebreak points. For example, if you are A, you won twice against B, drew one game and lost one game against C, and C drew to games against B, then your tiebreak score is 2,5.
