Back to forum Marc Lacrosse (2007-03-29 19:00:16) Double RR tournaments ? Seven players in a tournament is a good number A larger number would lead to longer waiting time before a tournament actually begins. But with such a small number of players being white or black against a given opponent may be decisive for tournament win. So my suggestion : double round robin tournaments with a smaller number of players (five ?). At five players, completing the full list of players is faster than for a seven-players single RR one and everybody plays 8 games with the advantage that no colour advantage/disadvantage exists against any opponent. Your opinion ? Charlie Neil (2007-03-29 19:32:56) Double RR tournaments I prefer single pairings. I know double pairings are the norm in postal clubs. 6 games with 6 others as opposed to 8 games with 4 people can make a difference. I'm sure the waiting time for tournaments to start will drop. But...... What about class tourneys being double paring 5 players and rapid tourneys being 7 players single pairing? Jason Repa (2007-04-07 04:45:25) Double RR Tournaments Double RR tournaments are a good idea and makes things fair. It is a big advantage to have the White pieces in a Corr. game. Thibault de Vassal (2007-04-07 04:50:03) Double RR Tournaments It doesn't influence much the result in class tournaments IMO, it does in WCH tournaments only... Anyway single round-robin is more fun ! Jason Repa (2007-04-07 05:57:23) Double RR tournaments I disagree. I think that it has a very significant influence on the result. If you get Whites against the stronger players and Blacks against the weaker ones, you are getting a big advantage over someone who is not. IMO, it greatly adds to the luck factor. I have the most fun from fair competitions where things are balanced. Thibault de Vassal (2007-04-07 06:11:03) Double RR tournaments The point is there shouldn't have stronger (I mean really) players in class tournaments... Anyway, several players already asked not to change current formula & single round-robin tournaments. But I'll organize more special events and / or I'll create a new category using double round-robin.
