Current BGA guidelines say 4-8 players for a 3 round tournament, so in this example I would cut it at 2dan.

 

If we do have a situation where there is one less 2d and one more 1d, then I suggest use GoR and cut it off at the higher recommended guideline number – in this case 8.

 

What does GoDraw do at the moment with this combination?

Colin.

Hi all,

 

I've been pondering this:

 

Let's suppose I am organising a tournament and I have a distribution of players towards the top a bit like this:

 

3d, 2d, 2d, 2d, 1d, 1d, 1d, 1d, 1d, 1d, 1d, 1k, 1k, ...

 

If it's a 3 round tournament then I'd ideally like 8 players above the bar. If I took the 3-dans, 2-dans and 1-dans then I would have 11 players. 

 

Would it be appropriate to split the group of 1-dans, based on GoR, so that some of the 1-dans are above the bar and some are below it? ie. some 1-dans would have a different inital MMS to the others.

 

Matt
