From: NAITO Naoya NIFTY NE JP> Date: 14 jul 2002 Subject: Tie Breaks Method in the real tournaments ? Hello I am very interested in Swiss System, especially 'Tie Breaks Method'. I want to know about 'how to use Tie Breaks Method in the real tournaments'. Please tell me them. I am glad to know the way a big or little tournament. For example, we 'Kyoto High School Shogi Federation' use the order of "1 Buchholz 2 Berger 3 Median-Buchholz 4 Progress" We have usually 3 leagues, and from 10 to 50 members by a league, and round 5 or 6. Note:(by Swiss Perfect 98 Help) 1 Buchholz : the sum of opponents' scores 2 Berger : the sum of scores of the opponents who were beaten by a given player 3 Median-Buchholz : Buchholz, but after leaving out the highest and the lowest scoring opponents 4 Progress : Calculated by adding points from a progress table Thanks.
