Frequently asked questions
How are standings ranked?
Score first (win 1, draw 0.5, bye 1), then Buchholz (sum of opponents’ scores), then seed order.
Is this the official Swiss system?
No — it is a simple score-group matcher with backtracking that forbids rematches, not the FIDE Dutch system; follow your organizer’s rules for sanctioned events.
How do byes work?
With an odd number of players the lowest-ranked player without a previous bye sits out and scores 1 point, at most once per player.
