Overview

A implementation of accelerated (dutch) swiss pairing

Instance Method Summary collapse

Instance Method Details

#pair(driver, options = {}) ⇒ Array<Array(team, team)>

Pair teams using the accelerated (dutch) swiss pairing system.

Behaves identical to the dutch pairing system, except that for the first N rounds the top half of the seeded teams is given a point bonus. This makes the first couple rounds of a tournament accelerate 1 round ahead of swiss.

Options are passed to the dutch system and behave identically.

Parameters:

  • driver (Driver)
  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (options):

  • acceleration_rounds (Integer) —

    determines how many round to perform the acceleration for. This should be shorter than the length of the tournament in order to produce fair results.

  • acceleration_points (Number) —

    determines how many points to grant the teams. This should be approximately equal to the number of points usually granted in one round.

Returns:

  • (Array<Array(team, team)>) —

    the generated pairs of teams
