How to Create a Regular Swiss Style Tournament
On this page you will find a step by step tutorial on how to create a regular Swiss style tournament.
What Is A Regular Swiss Tour
In Regular Swiss format, the tournament is completed when there is only one player remaining who is undefeated. The number of rounds is set before the tournament in order to specify a maximum number of players. If the tournament is set for six rounds, this does not guarantee there will be six rounds of play because players withdrawing from the tournament may shorten the rounds required to reach a single undefeated player. If for some reason after given number of rounds has been played and there is still more than one undefeated player the tournament will be extended in order to determine a winner.

Now you can see, I have added the, information that I, need to add. I have added, a name of the tournament, what the game is, where the tournament is being held, number of rounds, and how many minutes between each rounds, and LADDERBUX´S SETTINGS: I have also, put a square, around what I have edited. For Example: TD JUNGLE GIN TOURNAMENT, as the name, Jungle Gin as the game, JUNGLE GIN/ADVANCE/BUTTERFLY PALACE, as where the tournament is being held, number of rounds 9, 15 minutes, between each round, True Swiss No, LadderBux Settings: Because this is, a fake tour, you will not, charge an entry fee, and I have underlined this for you. In a real Tournament your League, will tell you, how many Ladderbux´,s to charge for each Tournament, For Example: so you might charge 100 LadderBux for a Swiss System Tourney so you would mark, LadderBux entry fee: LadderBux to top finishers, and click on little arrow, and select 100.
