Game Courier Tournament #2. Sign up for our 2nd multi-variant tournament to be played all on Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Looks like you will be conducting a 10 player round robin - starting off with something like four games for each player. I can email a 6.5 kilobyte PDF file containing the official Canadian 'Round Robin Pairing Schedule', for anything up to 18 players. Consider numbering these players from #1 to #10, in order of estimated strength. You could simply fill in the top four positions according to their scores in the previous tournament. It is then a simple matter to start off with pairings in which the top four players do NOT meet each other. Two benefits: [1] they do not have to start off playing the 'same old faces' [2] the deciding game between tournament leaders will probably happen later in the event.
