Tournaments and Events / Re: Yet to be organized Dutch tournament

« on: September 04, 2012, 03:36:31 pm »

I think a 5 round Swiss is not enough. You will get a lot of tie scores.
If you want a Swiss system you probably need 8 rounds or more.
A disadvantage in a Swiss tourney (in chess often) is that there is no real final. You play 8 rounds or whatever and the one who wins the most is the champ. If you want some kind of final than it will take a lot of time extra. So maybe a extra day for the finals isn't a bad idea.

I don't think getting the cards would be a problem if people bring some with them.

The first round of a 1vs1 swiss tournament is completely random. So you can get matched up with anyone.
After the first round , you have the winning players with 1 point and loosing players with 0 point and maybe some draws with 0,5 points.
The second and next rounds you will play against someone as closest to you on the ranklist. So if you won 2 out of 3 you will propably get matched up with someone else with 2 out of 3. So top players will meet each other and the bottom players too. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice.
It is similar with chess, you can also attempt to ensure that each player plays an equal number of games as startplayer or as second player.
Alternate startplayers in each round being the most preferable.
After a preset amount of rounds, you will get a final rankboard. If there are some players with equal points then you could use the Neustadtl principal.
It is basically a kind of tie breaker who will give a winner by counting the points together of the beaten players by that player. So the more top players you have beaten you are more likely winning the tiebreakers.

If you want to use the swiss system you will need a computer with software which will calculate each rounds match ups and starting players.

Would it not be much easier to shuffle al the different kingdomcards to devide them among the tables.
So with 1 box of each sets you have 152 different cards which you can fill up 15 tables which means you could invite <30 people for a 1vs1 tournament or <45 for a 3 player tournament.
One little problem, you need the basic cards on every table.
To sum up, you will need the 7 different boxes and 13 basic boxes.

It is exactly what Davio says. What kind of tournament are you thinking of?
I would like to see a swiss 1vs1 tournament with some good tiebreaking setups like a Neustadtl score. (weerstandspunten)
If you need some help to set this up, I would like to help.

Maybe it's on option to decrease the better chess players time. Something like 10 seconds per 100 elo points in difference.
I dont know if this is possible to arrange on a chess site.

Tournaments and Events / Interest in Chess/Dominion Tournament

« on: May 25, 2012, 03:18:54 am »

I’ve been reading a lot on the forums and noticed that there are some chess players.
I am a chess player (around 1700) and love blitz and rapid chess.

So lately I am thinking it would be awesome to have some kind of tournament where you play some blitz games against each other and some Dominion games.

Format:
Depending on how many players would like to play, I think the last IsoDom tournament had a nice format, a non-elimination Round Robin-type tournament.
Splitting all the players into divisions (by continent if possible).

So I think it would be fun if you meet up with your opponent, you play, let’s say, 5 games of 5min. blitz chess and 5 games of (random kingdoms) Dominion. Combine the scores and you have a winner. (Or a draw)
I think chesscube is a good free site to meet up to play the blitz games.
One problem is that there are maybe great rank differences among chess players. A 2000 player could easily win with 5-0 to a 1300 player.


So, I would like to hear from you guys what you think about this kind of tournament. Is the time format a good format for the chess games? Is the amount of games good?

I also would like to know if there is enough interest to start a tournament like this.

GokoDom / Re: State of IsoDom: UPDATE - up to four subs needed.

« on: May 02, 2012, 01:57:11 am »

As posted before loes u could be a sub for Dubdubdubdub. That's what was said several weeks ago. I don't know whether s/he is still willing/able to, of course, but one might ask him. ArjanB mentioned it first here. And I've played against loes u in between so s/he was active on isotropic.

She is still willing and ready to be a sub. We never had a permission and still dont know if she has to replay all the games which dubdubdubdub played.
So if we know that, loes u can immediately play.

loes u is ready to replace dubdubdubdub. We were waiting for an approval from MMM.
We just need to know if all games should be replayed, like O says.
If so, loes u will play the games with pleasure.
