With correspondence time control, I think a round robin is (regrettably) impractical, unless you create tiny groups. Maybe something like this might work: Round-robin with 4 sets of 4 programs or 5 sets of 5 programs or something of that nature. Then the place of the program determines the slot for the next round. E.g., here is a design for a 2x2 tourney: ===================== Round 1: ===================== G1: Program A, B G2: Program C, D A plays B as white and then black. In case of a draw, a blitz match decides. B wins G1, with A second place. C plays D as white and then black. In case of a draw, a blitz match decides. C wins G1, with D second place. ===================== Round 2: ===================== G1: Program B, C G2: Program A, D B plays C as white and then black. In case of a draw, a blitz match decides. C wins G1, and therefore the tournament. C is second. A plays D as white and then black. In case of a draw, a blitz match decides. D wins G2 and therefore is 3rd, and A is last. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You need as many rounds as the size of the group and the number of programs is also the square of this number. (e.g. groups of 5 demand 25 programs in total). You would really need at least three programs, and it would be best if there were an odd number of programs. The number of games is exponential with group size.
