Questions About Swiss System
In a Swiss system tournament, no one is eliminated. In Round 1, competitors are paired randomly or by seed. In subsequent rounds, players are paired against opponents with the same (or closest) record (e.g. 2-0 plays 2-0, 1-1 plays 1-1). No two players ever play each other twice.
