In preparation for #Sprouts2024, I updated my Swiss #Tournament organizer to automatically add a player to act as the BYE if there are an odd number of actual players: http://kyleburke.info/swissTournamentOrganizer.php.

(Someone told me a few months ago that there was a problem with matching players if there was an odd number of players. I don't remember who that was!)

Please let me know if you notice any issues!

General Purpose Swiss Tournament

I programmed the BYE player to automatically lose every game. I don't actually know whether that's the optimal way to do that for a Swiss #tournament. #MechanismDesign
