The tiebreaks are for only after the tournament is over.

If two people both have 5.0/6.0 at the end of the tournament, then those two players will play a tie-breaking match for 1st place.

You need 5 rounds of a Swiss tournament to take 32 players down to one sole perfect score. Similarly, you need 6 rounds of a Swiss tournament to take 64 players down to one perfect score.

That's why. It would be rather silly to have a tournament end with more than one person with a perfect score.

Welcome back to the chess forum BobJoeJim, I'm also a big fan of the SE forum.

Sure thing. I will personally PM you when it's time for the tournament to start up.

In fact, I'm going to start a personal PM reminder list right now and you'll be first on the list!

Very simply, I'll send out PM's to those that request a reminder of when the tournament is starting up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PM Reminder List:

1. BobJoeJim

1- if 2 players make 4.5/5 or 5.5/6 we define the champion for the tiebreaks

2- 2^x i ask allinmclovin. he invented this formula

I couldn't agree more.

On a side note: If anyone wants to talk to me about possible ideas for a 2p2 Chess Ladder then feel free to PM me.

I'm very happy with the turn out so far, spread the word everyone and let's make this tournament epic!
