Number of rounds
It can be set between 1 and 20.
It can be increased at any time.
It can be decreased at any time too, provided that no game has been defined for abandonned rounds.
Special results
An absent player for a given round is a player who has been declared as not participating in that round.
A bye player for a given round is a player who has been defined as bye in the pairing process. Not more than one player can be bye for a given round.
The NBW and MMS scores for absent and bye player for a given round will be computed according to what you define in this frame.
Round down NBW and MMS scores
When, as a result of bye or absence, the score is not an integer, a rounding down is made if the "Round down NBW and MMS scores" checkbox is selected.
Otherwise, no rounding is made.
NB : Points resulting from a draw are not rounded.
NB : For pairing, players with a non-integer score are grouped with players with an integer score just below, whatever
the "Round down NBW and MMS scores" choice might be.
For SOS, count not played games as half point
When a player plays with an opponent who did not play in an other round, his SOS will be affected, according to the "Special Results" choices.
If the "For SOS ..." checkbox is selected, the SOS will be computed as if the opponent had got 1/2 point from his not played game, whatever the choices for "Special Results" may be.
A "not played game" may refer to an absent player, a bye player, a not paired player, or a game whose result is unknown or is a "by default" result.
