Points calculation

The OSwiss application counts the points scored by the players. They are used to match players of a similar level and to determine the final standings. The recalculation occurs each time a new round is started or the tournament ends.

Progress

The most important criterion taken into account when comparing players is the sum of points scored (the so-called "Progress" or big points). If a player tied the first round (1-1) and won the second (2-0), then after these two rounds his progress is 3.

In addition to progress, the application calculates various tie-breaks (small points) to determine the order of players with the same number of big points.

Buchholz - Berger

The default way to convert points is "Progress - Buchholz - Berger". This option can be changed in the settings in the "Point calculation" tab.

• Buchholz - sum of points scored by opponents.
• Berger - the sum of the products of the points scored in the match and the opponent's points

NumOfWins

The method counts the number of rounds in which the player scored more points than the opponent (number of wins). So a player who won one game and lost three times, will be higher in the classification than a player who drew four times.

Opponents' Win Percentage

The result of each match is converted into percentages - 100 for a win, 50 for a draw, 0 for a loss. For a (2-1) win, a value of 67 will be assigned to player one and 33 to player two.

The first tie-break is the sum of the percentage points scored by the opponents. The second parameter is the sum of points scored by the opponents of these opponents. Both are divided by the number of rounds.

Buchholz' Win Percentage

This method is equivalent to the Buchholz method (sum of opponents' points), only expressed as a percentage. The positioning of the players should not differ from the Buchholz method.

Similar to the previous method. The second column of small points is the sum of points scored by opponents' opponents. Then the obtained values ​​are divided by the number of rounds.
