In Response To: Swiss simulator programming project (Jason Lee)

Questions about Swiss that I would like answered....

• If we "play it all the way out," (we play until there is only one person with less than X losses) how many rounds does it take for different tournament sizes?
• If we play the "more Swiss" format, like Patrick did in the Vietor Classic, how many rounds does it take for different tournament sizes, and how often do we end up with 3 finalists with the same record?
• If we change the number of losses before elimination, how many rounds does it add or remove for tournaments of various sizes? (e.g. Can a 3-loss format with 24 players be finished in 2 days?)
