Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

00 01 02 03 04 05 etc. 00 x 01 x 02 x x 03 x x 04 x 05 x etc. The Round 1 setup described above (Aug. 29) still has a flaw in the top. The round is much easier for players 00 and 01 than for players 02, 03 & seq., even with a compensating extra opponent in the next round. The top setup should be 00...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

Simulator runs show, that to compensate for the one less opponent in Round 1, players 00 and 01 should have an opponent more in the next round. So the Round 2 setup would for ten players be: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 00 x x x 01 x x x 02 x x 03 x x 04 x x 05 x x 06 x x 07 x x 08 x x 09 x x

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

Improvement of Round 1 setup. At the moment 20 players would be set up for Round 1 this way: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 00 x x 01 x x 02 x x 03 x x 04 x x 05 x x 06 x x 07 x x x 08 x x x 09 x x x 10 x x x 11 x x x 12 x x x 13 x x x x 14 x x x x 15 x x x x 16 x x x x...

Re: World Tafl Federation

It was suitable to let the IM threshold for world champions be 1900 instead of the usual 2000. This way all world champions are IM or more.

Suggestion:
Likewise the GM threshold for world champions should be 2100 instead of the usual 2200.

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

Test of WTF-tourn. timing 2023. The x4 timing, which is planned for the 2023 tourn., was tested using the Copenhagen variant: 9 players played 72 games. 6 of the games timed out = 8%. The longest game lasted 19 days. Compare this with the WTF-tourn. 2022, also the Copenhagen variant: 25 players pla...
