yes geo - big mistake it is :-P

Yeah, georgig, it's a bit dismaying to me as I look at my positioning. To do well at all, I will need to win against Lord Chane (admittedly, I think, more possible that what would follow...gulp), and then Rex, and then Asmala. Yuck. I'd rather have been in the lower 8 .

Even worse, anyone losing the first game can do no better than 9th place...if I understand things.

That is correct.

Edit: Hmmm, maybe that isn't right though. The person that loses the first game and wins the next three shouldn't place below the guy who wins the first game and loses teh next three. I have to think abtou this for a bit.

It depends, if this individual wins against Asmala but losts his three other games, he deserves to be rated higher than the player who losts his first game but wins the three others.

More seriously, I would agree with Slynky, although I am not sure how you could tweak the brackets. (Except for a score rating of some sort that is)

[geoschmo]

Ok, I adjusted it a bit. I had to kind of make it up cause normally with a bracket like this you lose one and you are out.

Now if you lose the first game and win the next three you end up with 5th place for the tournament. Below the other 3-1 players that won their first game, but above the 2-2 and 1-3 players that won their first game.

I think this is a fair system. Of course it only matters for tournament purposes. The real question is how many points in the Ratings system will you earn or lose for the tournament. And that cannot be predicted without knowing for sure who you will face. And could be affected by non-tournament games that you finish at the same time, so I can't really use that for a tourney result.
