The inherent advantage of the Swiss competition system over the elimination system is that it does not need to eliminate any contestants. Before the game, players can be sure that no matter how they play, they can participate in all rounds of games without worrying about being eliminated in advance. In the worst case, when the number of players is odd, there will be a round without competition (that is, a bye), but you can still guarantee to get 1 point.
A player can only have one bye at most. Unlike the knockout round, the Swiss competition system will save the suspense for the last game. Sometimes a player leads too much, and one or even several rounds in advance can ensure the championship. The common remedy is to make the Swiss system first, and then eliminate the top players to decide the champion.
