ecko, if you want to play more games, play in round robin tournaments (where you will pretty much play a game against everyone). Swiss style tourneys are designed to determine a winner in as few games as possible.
Oh ok, well all the tournaments I played in so far were swiss style then. Are those round robin tournaments popular?
The problem is that round-robin only exists for 2 and 3 player/team games. Rumor is some people are trying to figure out how to do 4, 5, 6 etc. round-robin tourneys, but we don't have then yet.
It's crazy that Wargear has enough mathematicians to solve a round-robin tournament math problem that has yet to be solved...
Does the site have a lot of mathematicians? I've never been one to calculate odds myself, just seem to work better from instinct...

Still working on it. 3 player RR was solved in 1939.

Yes, but the participants were Belgium, Poland and Germany so it wasn't really fair from the get go.

You forgot Luxembourg. Everyone always forgets Luxembourg.
I... can't find anything wrong with this line of reasoning...
