Swiss Pairs |
Swiss Pairs is similar in many ways to the better-known Swiss Teams. Each pair plays a series of eight board matches. Each board is scored across the field by normal pairs scoring (match pointed pairs) and each pair’s percentage score over eight boards is converted into victory points (20 VPs per match). The first round is drawn randomly, but in subsequent rounds each pair will meet opponents with a similar VP score. The final ranking is based on the VPs gained over the six rounds.
