Question about tournaments

Rychlik

I want to play tournament, but don't like playing several games at one time. Therefore I am looking for tournament with several consecutive games. How do I recognize such one?

Rychlik thanks for this feedback. I will add this to description of my tournaments. Currently all of them demand playing at least 2 games in parallel.

There is no parameter to look for, it is entirely up to the tournament creator how he launches the games and separates them in batches.

You can look in the tournament description or ask tournament hosts directly how they plan to launch the games.

Hmmm what happens when there's auto start option? Or does that affect something else?

Rychlik Autostart option is only for the tournament - if organizer will start the tournament manually or it will be started immediately when full.

But it must be related to tournament structure somehow... If there is 7 players in a group and play 4 person matches, clearly at least someone must play more matches, otherwise some players won't play at all.... Also random pairings won't most likely take into account who is currently playing, and who doesn't...
