In this section, we will cover all of the draw types.

Round Robin Draw

In a single round-robin schedule, each participant plays every other participant once. In theory, a round-robin tournament is the fairest way to determine the champion among a known and fixed number of participants. Each participant, player or team, has equal chances against all other opposites. The element of luck is seen to be reduced as compared to a knockout system since bad performances need not cripple a competitor's chance of ultimate victory. Final records of participants are, thus, seen to be more accurate as they represent the results over a longer period against equal competition. This can also be used to determine which teams are the poorest performers and thus subject to relegation if the format is used in a multi-tiered league. This is also helpful to determine the final rank of all competitors from strongest to weakest for purposes of qualification for another stage or competition as well as for prize money.

The standard format for round-robins is to assign each competitor a number, and pair them off in the first round …

Round 1. (1 plays 14, 2 plays 13, ... )          1          2  3  4  5  6  7  14 13 12 11 10 9  8        

then fix one of the contributors in the first or last column of the table (number one in this example) and rotate the others clockwise one position

Round 2. (1 plays 13, 14 plays 12, ... )          1          14 2  3  4  5  6  13 12 11 10 9  8  7        

until you end up almost back at the initial position

Then #1 meets #2, #3 meets #4 etc., with modifications made to ensure that other rules are adhered to. Players are sorted by score (not score groups) and original rank, then each player paired to the next opponent, typically excluding repeats.

Swiss Draw

A swiss draw is a non-eliminating tournament format which features a predetermined number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than in a round-robin tournament. In a Swiss tournament, each competitor (team or individual) does not play every other. Competitors meet one-to-one in each round and are paired using a predetermined set of rules designed to ensure that each competitor plays opponents with a similar running score, but not the same opponent more than once. The winner is the competitor with the highest aggregate points earned in all rounds. All competitors play in each round unless there is an odd number of them.  A Swiss draw should result in a clear winner, without having to play all opponents as in round robin, and without a single bad result terminating participation.

This format guarantees everybody the same number of matches.Based on your results, most players can land in the number 1 position no matter where you are placed in the draw, except for a few exceptions if you are placed at the very bottom of the draw.  Essentially you follow your number through, therefore if player 1 plays player 16 and loses, they will move to the 16 spot of the second round.  In the second round, if they lost to player 9, they would stay in spot 16 in the third round. If they won, they would move to position 9 in the 3 round and so on.
