Just an fyi, but with 20 players you only need 5 rounds to establish a winner (though this doesn't garuntee it will happen) as 2^5 = 32 > 20. Seven rounds is overkill unless you are going to have 2^7 = 128 players and even then due to draws you can probably have more than that.

I'm in this thing but I don't know what the Swiss tournament rules entail. Can someone help me out?
I didn't know it before I read that..althought there are some variations of swiss system, so It would be perfect if Malvinas could explain it better.
PD: I think we are just 20, no?
Originally posted by aGoRessivESeems pretty cut and dry to me. Winners with Winners, losers with losers. Tiebreaks if neccessary. 7 rounds means you play 7 games, unless there is an odd number of players, then you may get a half-point bye. This means that you don't play that round, but you accredited with half a point; just as if you drew.
