Механика проведения

До анонса определите и опубликуйте источник посева. Это может быть актуальный внешний рейтинг, результаты серии, квалификация или комбинированная модель. Для игроков без данных используется жеребьёвка или предварительная оценка. В парном турнире учитывают рейтинг пары, а не только лидера. Организатор должен указать дату отсечения данных и порядок решения равенства.

You can find the number of players, courts, rounds and time available, add transitions, input results and reserve, and then after you've calculated, select the name of the system and open the registration

Start with three checksrating-house; fixation; pairing.

How to evaluate quality

The format works if participants receive the promised number of matches, the schedule endures a protracted round, and the same situations are solved in the same way, these criteria are checked by timing and protocol

Standby scenario

When time is scarce, reduce the number of points, rounds or stages before the regulations are published. You can't promise a large amount of play and then cancel matches during the event

Unfair decisions

It's a mistake to change crops after looking at the list of participants without a formal basis, and you can't compare ratings obtained in different formats and with different activity as absolutely accurate

Подготовка ведущего

Опубликуйте предварительный список посева и короткое окно для исправления фактических ошибок до формирования сетки.

What's important to keep

Before the start, send a memo: arrival time, count, seeding, transitions, points equality and the results channel

Frequent questions

Can I seed by hand

Yes, in a small club tournament, if the criteria are known and the decision is made consistently, not on personal sympathy

What do you do without a rating

Use qualifications, latest testable results or draws within the preliminary level group
