re:playing same person twice in a Tournament


Once with White, once with Black. Sometimes the games are simultaneous, depends how the tourney is set up.

Are we suppose to be playing the same person 2 games at the same time, and why?
See http://www.chess.com/tournaments/help.html#format
You will also see
(one game per opponent starts immediately)
or
(both games per opponent start immediately)
on all tournaments in the upcoming list.
