Trying to get a single winner at the end does often lead to high handicaps in
the later rounds. This is simply a style of tournament. If you have another
pairing scheme in mind I would love to hear about it. How do you figure out who
should play whom?
Another Idea is a facility for manual adjustment after automated pairing?
