Tourney: BFF London 2011 09.10.2011 5th Anniversary

1) Byes are shit. There just is no fair way to deal with them in Swiss. So in the future we really need to make sure we have an even number of teams.

Ok so it would be needed to be writen into the software, but instead of bye's one team (who would have had a bye) should just have to play the next team that would have had a bye. I'd like to see the logic behind the way teams are selected, but i'm sure it would be possible. Obviously that only really works with an even number of rounds, with an odd number of rounds and an odd number of teams you have to have a bye for someone.

3) A full Swiss, and then a single elim seems to work well. Yes some higher seeded teams got knocked out of the knockout early, but in the end the usual teams got the final anyway.

So basically the test of whether a tourney system works is if there's a spring break verses nice touch final? :)
