Hi All,
I am organizing a tournament back home for some friends. This year we are with 12 people. I am really struggling to come up with a good design. Two poules of six would make the tournament somewhat to long. Four poules of 3 comes with the problem of a three-way tie.
- I want to use 3 chess boards, but I can fix a 4th if needed
- We use time control of 10 minutes (so 20 min per game).
- Ideally each player would play 3-4 games
- I would like a Final or even semi-finals
- We start at 8 and would like to finish at 12!
Almost feels like a math puzzle .
Who can help me design this thing. It is giving me headaches!
Get a 4th board and play a 4 round Swiss. That should give you one clear winner, and if there is a time for first, have a playoff.
