Hi all,

I never made a tourney on BBO and I'm thinking about possibilities of organizing Serbian national championships online.
One of our main events in a year is a tournament where (up to) 16 pairs play long IMP matches (say 14 boards) in a round-robin.
Would it be possible to make a tournament where a pair would play only against single pair in one long round?

Cheers,
Veljko

I think it is possible to create a tournament with just 1 round in theory but you can't choose who plays who so it wouldn't work for setting up a round-robin. Most championships of this sort are arranged with multiple team matches (the IMP score that appears is irrelevant, they are then extracted to your normal scoring program and X-IMPs calculated separately).

Thanks, that's a very sensible way to do it.
