Based on the feedback to the previous thread (http://talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?352100), it seems that the majority prefer 11 rounds Swiss to the knockout with reentry option. Gerd Isenberg suggested an interesting modification to standard Swiss: -------- http://talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?352264 What about following slightly modified [Swiss system], a kind of "delayed" swiss system to keep the tension a bit longer? For the first (4-6) rounds playing swiss with two about equal strong groups with about (even) quantity and quality, eg. (1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16)<->(2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15) or similar. Then reunion both groups and continue with standard swiss, and there are still some thrilling rounds to go. -------- In other words, a simple 11 rounds Swiss, but keeping some stronger pairings for the later rounds. What do you think would be better? Standard 11 rounds Swiss (like in Graz WCCC), or the delayed Swiss as suggested by Gerd?
