Fluffy to Gifted Tournament - FINISHED

[Eijolend]

I updated the Opening Post - check it out: click

I like the idea of having 2 separate group doing swiss system, but matching group A vs. group B at the end seems a bit awkward if you do it for all places, since there's no guarantee place 7 of A will have similar skill to place 7 of B. Probably pure swiss would be better for that purpose, but I'm not sure.
And yeah not requiring a 2^n number of entrants is a big plus.

As for Tie-Breakers in the final ranking, I agree with your OPT (also known as Buchholz system afaik) and Head-to-Head. I'm not sure if I like an additional match after the round is already over or some arbitrary tiebreaker (for example a turns taken count like the Outwitters World Cup has) is better. Both feel kinda clunky.

I'm afraid so, since the main purpose of this tournament is to get players started with the competitive side of Outwitters.
