After the Round 2. Plese check your scores and let me know if anything is wrong.

Congratulations to some (Za Zjurman, DBSubashi, Uncle Mike, etc) that managed to get a big leg up. Enjoy the shark pool.

I predict we're going to see a lot of hard fights (and I say bring it on).

I do like the Swiss System...although this time it landed me a very nasty halberd cut...!

It should give a less random aspect to where your skill truly puts you. I expect that there will be no more top ten finishes for me because I can easily think of ten more painters that are way more talented than I am. No longer can you depend on fortunate matchups. Great change to the league!

I like the new System too. High Tension from the start. Mike, I recieved my beating last round

And thank you Alex for choosing my Elbingers!

Just curious about the system, what if going strictly by position order dictates a rematch? That would seem a less useful gauge. Or do we start at the top, and go #1 vs. #2 (unless they have been previously matched, when it would be #1 vs. #3)? I'm just thinking that eventually we will all "float" to the level where our skill should put us. The sooner that happens, the sooner you will be hanging around the same folks who have similarly floated to their correct level. Hmm...or in my case, I should say SUNK to their level...

My apologies if this has been explained before. Oh, and I just sent in my Round #5...I'll be watching the next round from Venice! I'm flying there for Spring Break, spending a couple days, then driving to Croatia for a week of sightseeing...!

If I may explain that. The Swiss System usually has two basic variants, one which uses "tiers" of participants according to their skill level, and one which simply has one pool of participants from which matches are drawn. We opted to go for the second option since any pre-categorizing would not serve any purpose in our context other than to alienate the participants.

The "algorithm" I programmed sorts the participant in descending order by the established ranking (total points first, in case of ties vote difference second).

Then, in subsequent rounds, it matches the first to the second, UNLESS they have already been paired against each other in previous rounds, in which case it tries to match the first to the next participant, and so on, until a new pairing emerges, and so on until all participants have been matched.

Therefore, given the number of matches and participants, there *should* not be any re-matches.

Another draw! I think this won't be the last one.

1 Up! I didn't expect to see mine as the banner but thanks

It is certainly a fitting banner... was one of the most original entries yet!

After the Round 4.

Please notice, the bonus points for a newly painted team (10 pts) are not included yet because of some technical issues with the tool. But now some good news, everybody (really ) had submitted a newly painted team for the Round 4, hence it wouldn't change anything for the pairings. We are going to fix it till the next weekend
