Why? Just use pairing systems that are used in chess.

One problem would be that two one game rounds would on average take more than one full match round, making the tournaments a bit longer (not that much, as on the other hand I think we could make the number of games played a bit smaller).

I was able to piece together the UK Games Expo (121 players):

1 - Even Sorgjerd - NEH/Hayley
2 - Chris Dyer - NEH/Noise
3 - Dave Hoyland - IG/Whizzard
4 - David Whittaker - NEH/Whizzard
5/6 - Alex White - IG/Whizzard
5/6 - Tagore Nakornchai - NEH/Whizzard
7/8 - Ben Ni - Palana/Whizzard
7/8 - Ian Gallagher - Palana/Jesminder

Also we should probably not get this thread derailed into a discussion of intentional draws.

Assymetrical game as Netrunner, a Swiss round is a single game. Pairing rules are:

  • you can play an opponent only once during the Swiss
  • you are paired against someone with similar score
  • at the end of the event you should play each side similar number of times (if there’s odd number of rounds, you need to play one side exactly once more than the other)
  • you should not play same side more than twice in a row

For Netrunner I would probably modify first rule to say that you can play same player for the second time but only with switched sides and with at least two rounds between those games.

Last year we should have just had a Top 8. That would have lead to a much more preferable result. :wink:

Any streams I should know about to link to?

I’m considering doing a rebroadcast of the ATL regional since the internet was so spotty that day – the recorded video was fine, it was just stream itself that was constantly breaking. I’m about to get all the videos up soon, but would people be interested in a rebroadcast anyway?

My first thought: Australia for sure doesn’t have many Regionals, why make two on the same day.

Then I went to Google Maps to check how long would the drive be and found out Australia is way bigger than I thought :slight_smile:

Checking in from Cleveland, looks like it’s getting ready to kick off with 47 people. Unless someone gets added at the last minute.

Results from Adelaide, Australia (19 people down from 25 last year, long weekend actually hurt participant numbers as people had better things to do I guess, top 4 after four rounds of swiss)

Final standings

1 @firesa Andy/NEH
2 Matth W Whiz/Blue Sun
3 Tim H Hayley/NEH
4 Stephen Robb Chaos Theory/Blue Sun
5 Garth Davos Valencia/NEH
6 Jeremy Valencia/NEH
7 Michael Andy/Cerebral Imaging
8 @Dropbear Noise/NEH

Andy decks were that Euregio winning list with some changes (at least to mine, especially to the econ package). Top NEH decks were on kill, and Blue Sun decks were on kill as well (one was off the grid). Chaos Theory I think was hyperdriver shenanigans of some sort. A lot of Valencia and even more NEH at the event, of all varieties
