[blml] Swiss Teams formats [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Herman De Wael]

Richard,

I too find it an interesting idea.

In the sake of flexible/inventive minds, allow me to make one suggestion:

It may be difficult to explain the many different VP-scales needed for 
this formula. Could you investigate if simply allowing IMP-difference 
to determine the ranking would influence the outcome in a 
positive/negative way?

We are currently looking at ameliorating the Final of the Flanders' 
Cup, which is currently a Swiss over 9 matches of 6 boards, with 64 
teams! The better players are starting to complain that it is becoming 
a lottery. Maybe a chang such as this one could help! We don't really 
want to change the number of teams nor the lenghth of the final.
