Pittsburgh Swiss Format

It will be interesting to see how Rob's format will work next February.

As I understand it the pairings each round will be quasi-random -- in that like records don't necessarily play each other and the same players can't play each other again (until the end nears anyway). But, again as I understand, it will be kind of a continuous play so that as first round matches end the second round matches will be paired and begin.

I'm sure some will be attempting to game the system by timing the end of their matches, or when they report their matches, based on who is waiting for the next players.

It should be interesting.
