Just querying if a  club Swiss tournament for 8 invited players is set for 7 rounds ,that it will be a Round Robin where they each play each other once,and the system will not stop the tournament at 4 rounds.

What are the choices?

  • Swiss
  • Arena

I don't see how you can expect a round robin.

I don't think you can run a 7 round Swiss either.  (4 is the max with 8 players.)

Fortunately, you can still run it manually and keep track of it with a spreadsheet.

Is it possible to create instead a Daily tournament by invite only to be Round Robin with 7 rounds for 8 players?
