    It appears that a tourney I'm in is screwed up.
    It's a round robin tournament of 3 person games, with 15 people in it, so it should be 7 rounds.
    So, because of the confusion, I ended up looking thru the list of games.
    http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/307
    And I'm a little confused about how the games were organized.

    1) The big issue is that it appears that I've been invited to and started 2 copies of the same game.
    R5G4 (http://www.wargear.net/games/view/60168)
    R5G4 (http://www.wargear.net/games/view/60065)

    2) I would have expected that I'd have been playing a game in each round.
    On the other hand, the games list could be organized such that without every player playing in every round, the round robin could be correct, so it's possible that could be ignored.

    3) I would have expected that I'd only play every player one time.
    But, I play Scottish Legend twice R3G4 and R5G2

    We're over halfway thru the tourney now, so maybe it doesn't matter, but I saw a few other forum posts with weird tourney assignments, so if you're chasing some funky code, I thought I'd give you another datapoint.

    #2) The scheduling for round robin tournaments cannot be done in such a way that the rounds are disjoint.  That is, there is no way to schedule a round robin tournament for 3 player games so that everyone plays one game per round and still plays every other player.

    #3) However, you should only play each player once in a tournament.  When I looked through the rounds of the tournament, it does have you playing each of the other players only once.  You are not scheduled to play in R3G4.

    #1) It is very weird that you have two copies of R5G4 going and this is something that tom will have to look into.

    Thanks Alpha -
    2) That's what I figured, but wanted to confirm
    3) It was late, so my eyes must have been playing tricks on me.
    1) Thanks Tom for deleting the game.

    I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but in the two identical games that were started, one of the players flyingBelgium has surrendered right around when the two games were being started.
    Maybe his surrender played some role in the 2nd game getting created??

    Either way - Thanks both for the help.
