A "new" idea (?)

In Response To: A "new" idea (?) (Coolrey)

How about if the guy with NO losses wins the tournament? The guy with one loss comes in second?

We all now that BG involves random to some degree. Why it is ok that a top player is "out" after round one playing against a newbie. Why is round of the loss important (lost in the final vs. lost in the first round when you would have won the rest)?

I personally think swiss system is the best if you want the best players come up on the top places, but without clock it seems to have longer interruptions involved and "winner 2nd cons" seem 2b more valuable than 5th in the tourney...

ciao Frank
