05-19/15:54 Hagbard: This was a full test, all players did 104 games. The player who wins this thing is truly a winner.
All the strongest players took part in the test, and by winning Holidayinnes confirms that he is the World Champion in race games!

The result by this method seems accurate.
Perhaps the number of games can be reduced, fx. in a tournament with 20 players this way:
Round 1 20 players
Round 2 20 players
Round 3 18 best players
Round 4 16 best players
Round 5 12 best players.

Counting the simple way just numbers of wins would in this test tournament give nearly the same result. But the Formula One method of counting makes the results more distinct and adds to the fun, in my opinion -

The tournament took 45 days.

05-12/19:13 MasterLuke: @Hagbard: I think something went wrong with the game 'Tournament 749, Alea Berserk 17x17 (Martens), 20 moves, I play white against Brave-frog. I must have pressed the resign-button by accident? There was absolutely no reason to resign after only 20 moves. Can you please re-activate the game at move 19, please?
