Round robin is almost as bad as swiss. If everyone loses to the computer, then no big deal. But, with different scores against the computer, a person who scored 1.5 points against his 2 human opponents and 0 points against the computer would lose to a person who scored 1 point against his 2 human opponents (potentially 0 points against the first person) and 1 point against the computer. I know that would annoy the heck out of me since the chess skill set versus a computer is slightly different than the chess skill set versus most humans. KarinsDad :)
