Swiss round-robin system is a special competition system, which is usually used in chess, bridge and other competitions. Under this competition system, the contestants compete according to the pre-set pairing order, and after each round of competition, they are paired with their opponents again according to the outcome and points ranking. The purpose of this system is to enable each contestant to compete fairly with opponents with similar strength.
In the second round of S 13 Swiss Round, all the players have finished the first round and are paired again according to the results. This round of competition will be more intense and tense, because everyone knows that only by winning this round can we enter the next round of competition.
In this round of competition, every player will go all out because they know that any small mistake may lead to their elimination. At the same time, they will adjust their strategies and tactics according to the results of the first round of competition in order to achieve better results in this round of competition.
During the competition, the audience will also be attracted by the intensity of the competition. They will cheer for their favorite players and cheer for their victory. Those players who are eliminated will feel lost, but they will also learn a lot from the competition and prepare for the next competition.
Advantages and disadvantages of Swiss system
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.
The advantage of Swiss competition system over round robin competition is that when there are many contestants, there is no need to play many rounds.
One disadvantage of the Swiss competition system is that, except for the last champion and the last place, according to different scoring methods or breaking the same score, the ranking of intermediate players may be rough and random or draw lots.
