Game based tournaments

PairFX runs game based tournaments. What is this ?

It is actually very simple. Instead of having rounds (and having all players have the same amount of games played) PairFX uses score percentages to determine its next pairing. This has the huge advantage that no waiting is required to get the next games going.

There are a few parameters involved in making a pairing (which are configurable).

  • The score of the players (more important the difference in percentage of points)
  • The number of rounds player may not have played each other before being paired again

further there is:

  • color preference (PairFX tries to change colors as much as possible)

You can always manually change a pairing. If you don't like a generated pairing, then select it, delete it and create your own.

If you select multiple players and click 'Pair' then a pairing wil be made with the selected players.
If you select only 2 players, then that pairing will always be made. That way you can adjust all you want.
