Hello. Is this a forest - swamp palm land race? The swamp palm really likes to argue. I tend to think that the forest is right this time. Happy Midsummer
Number of rounds in chess/checkers

Mets has not offered any sensible ideas. Valve has played a total of 4 chess games in 10 years, not a single tournament, a total of 4 checkers tournaments, and therefore there is no point in talking at all. If anyone is arguing here, then Mets, because the original post was from me and the reduction in the number of tournament rounds is still mainly about chess. Instead of arguing, offer ideas on how it could be better!
The tournament took place! The swamp palm was making demagogic propaganda :)
A tournament with 3 participants can be called a tournament, I completely agree. We should delete the so-called tournaments with 2 participants from the entire Vint; let there be a separate category: duels. Simply devaluation of the concept of a tournament. Mets got its way, torpedoed Vint's official 22.01 tournament, playing on people's ignorance and participating myself. I don't even have anything against such a tournament, because the ranking was objectively clear. 21 rounds are simply pointless in the summer, at first I didn't understand whether the round system would work with more participants? If such a system, where in a tournament with six participants, 1 player plays with another player 6 times in 9 rounds with the same opponent, then I don't know what to call it! https://www.vint.ee/et-ee/tournament/result/125264/ In the case of a round system, the program itself should actually choose the number of rounds according to the number of participants; The organizer simply chooses the number of ROUNDS, i.e. how many times the same opponent is played! Once again, the question is, what would be difficult here!? You could experiment with up to 10 participants.
Tournament 26.06, at 19.00. 7 rounds announced, 6 participants, the actual number of rounds is 3! No one left or joined! In any case, it would have been more correct to play in a round robin system. https://www.vint.ee/et-ee/tournament/result/163847/
Makeup! Wake up! Is this really normal!! Come to your senses! https://www.vint.ee/et-ee/tournament/result/163885/ Nobody leaves, nobody joins-. fix this!! 6 participants and 3 rounds- NO!
Someone left there, but even in the Estonian championships, it has not been possible to organize 7 rounds with 6 players
From this particular tournament, Lolllaps was eliminated in the 1st round, kept in for 2 rounds, and was eliminated after the 3rd round. MALTILKAB should have gotten a free round in the 4th round. And the first 4 have already played each other so well that it is not possible to draw a fourth round.
Mets, no one wants seven rounds, it just doesn't make sense to do the Swiss system with 3-8 players.
