SWM: 150 split team tournament

= SWM: 150 split team tournament
= Monday, June 15th, 2009

For those who might be unfamiliar with this tournament format it works like this: Players form teams of 2. Each team has a primary and a secondary player. When pairings are performed, each team is paired with another team. The primary players battle each other and the secondary players battle each other. Teams are ranked based on the performance of both teammates. So if one player goes 2-1, and the other goes 1-2, the team has 9 match points. Otherwise we use all the standard rules for a SWM tournament.

I held this tournament with a total of 4 teams, or 8 players. We played 3 rounds so each team played every other team. Dave M. & Ryan M. managed to secure first with a record of 2-1 each, or 4-2 overall. Running this tournament meant doing certain tasks (such as pairing) manually. Overall it was a very successful (and fun) tournament!
