Reading through the invite to worlds and guess what it says...
so with 64 players the top 32 is established after one round.
with 128 players the top 32 is established after 2 rounds
three rounds yields a top 32 with 256 players in each age group.
Now it seems like the wording has been deliberately chosen to allow the number of rounds to be highly flexible But surely it would be better to say a minimum of 5 rounds of swiss. 5 rounds would cover upto 1024 entrants in each age group and still yield a clear top 32.
Anyone know how many entrants in each age group will be playing on the Saturday?
[thinks: Maybe the experience of Nationals has PUI worried about their software?]
