xx1943 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I try to direct a small tourney "Very Quick and Nice"; MP; 4*3*6. I'm not sure whether players like cut or not. I'm not sure when a cut should be set at which height it should be. Therefore I posted this poll. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mink Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Allowing players to leave a tourney early if they have a bad day sounds reasonable. However, I think you should be allowed to finish the tourney if you reach e.g. 47% of MP or more. So about only 25% of the players should be excluded at most. If you have 5 rounds then the cut happens after round 2, 3 and 4. If you set it to 10%, you will already exclude 27% of the players before the last round. I consider that the highest value acceptable. If you like to allow all who reach at least 40% of the matchpoints to finish the complete tourney, then with 3 cuts you should set the value to 2% per cut, asuming that only 6% of the pairs normally have a result worse than 40% of the MPs available. If there are more rounds, the cut value should be even lower. 0% cut is an idea if you do not like the subbing business, as pairs where a player is missing are excluded at round switch. However, this happens also if the connection was lost immediately before the round switch and regained immediately after - not fair. And this does not help if a player is non-responisve but not disconnected. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
