Question: matches generation

[rygorych]

Curious, under Swiss system, are we going to play repeat matchups?

For example, I've already played Wreck, but we're at equal points in R4, so would I be able to match up with him again?

Not that it matters all that much, just curious how admins set up the games.

This is a good question. Last season we didn't do repeat match-ups because with 4 games, it was very possible. This season, because we have 6 games, it won't be possible. I'm going to do my best to continue to do no repeat matches for round 4, but once round 5 hits, anything goes!

Cool thanks.

Btw, sup Eshan, heard you have 40 points, want to be friends?

Will it work for players like me, the people I'm currently tied with in points have played the only players near my points that I haven't played. I haven't looked at the possibilities of rebuke's match, but I think regardless for me to be in a game with nobody having a previous opponent would mean me in a 30-35 point players match?

Wow I hope you guys have some algorithm for this or that is a bit of work to figure out.

The have Renaud, more powerful than any algorithm anyone could possibly dream up.  Jeez Mr. Quackers.

I managed to do it so far without much issues duck. :D After making match-ups every other week for the last 6 years of my life, i've gotten pretty good at it. lol

Yeah leave me with the sloppy seconds like Magadansky and Darkness (assuming he doesn't win).
