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.
Possibly, but only if it works out an appropriate partner. The trouble yesterday was we had teams with byes who were in quite different places in the table, so the match up would not only be unfair to the team who should play someone in a similar position, rather than the other end of the table, but also it would be unfair to other teams, if a team at the top suddenly has an easy game.
I'm a little confused about the logic behind challonge, maybe it was the byes fucking it up yesterday. The main principle of Swiss to to play the closest team you've not played yet (and that that game doesn't produce impossible games in that round, or future rounds). Sometimes yesterday it seemed to choose strange pairings.
