From: Phil Holland HOLLANDNUMERICS DEMON CO UK> Date: 27 sep 1998 Subject: Re: Dancing Shogi Piece Eric, Please can you, or anyone else on SHOGI-L, explain to me just how you would implement a 'Normal Swiss' system on a 3-round tournament with fewer than 10 players? My last event only had 6 players in the Dan Group, ranging from 4-dan to 1-kyu. Also I would be interested to hear solutions to the problem I always have in Kyu Groups where the grades range from 2-kyu to 15-kyu, but have a big gap around 6- to 9-kyu.
