Finalist are the best five players of the tournament during the previous round, for me not having one of them as the tournament winner is not logical.

Not always Antonio, sometimes people know how to play in order not to give any GW on their table... for example a 2/2/1...which gives them or someone they know a better chance for a Final...

What i Propose would be a 3 or 4 rounds tournament, but the last round will be a Final using the Swiss Round method...

The first 5 play a Final, and then the second 5, etc...

The winner of the tournament will be the winner of the first table, if there is no such winner, you go to the second one, etc...

What would you all think of that ?
