[edit] Round-robin tournament
If there's nothing else to say on this, I think this should be merged into round-robin tournament. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 20:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- It isn't really a round-robin, although I suppose you could consider it a sort of team-play round-robin hybrid. What we really need is someone to explain how this tournament format is a favored way to create norm opportunities. Anyone got any good references? Quale 20:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

- I added another paragraph, but it doesn't specifically mention norms. However, besides the team competition, essentially each player is in a round robin, playing against a variety of people. So for rating purposes, I suppose it is counted as a round robin. A team of players that need norms could play against a team of masters, and that would be an efficient way for them to all have the oppertunity for norms. That seems clear, but I don't have a reference saying that. Bubba73 (talk), 15:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] sources
About all of the information in the two sources listed is in the article. Neither Golombeck's Encyclopedia or Harkness' Official Guide has anything. Bubba73 (talk), 04:28, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
