Structure Description: Most of Pastimes tournaments utilize a system of pairing called "Swiss".

The principle of a Swiss tournament is that each player will be pitted against another player who has done as well (or as poorly) as him or herself.

The first round is either drawn at random or seeded according to rating. Players who win receive a point, those who draw receive half a point and losers receive no points. Win, lose, or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on. In subsequent rounds, players face opponents with the same (or almost the same) score. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice however.

Here is a summary of the modified swiss pairing system:

* Round one : All players are paired randomly.
* Round two: the winners of round one will play each other, the losers of round one will play each other
* Round three: the players with 0-2 records play each other, likewise with the 1-1s, and the 2-0s.
* Round four: the 0-3s play each other, as do the 2-1s, the 1-2s, and the 3-0s.

Sometimes, however, it is not possible to pair players with exactly the same records (due to drops or draws), so you may be "paired" up or down a record.

After an amount of rounds set at the beginning of the tournament (based on the number of players), the player with the best record wins.

Number of Swiss Rounds to be played. There is a fairly set standard for the number of Swiss Rounds in an event based on the number of participants:

Attendance Number of Swiss rounds
Attendance = 9-16 Swiss Rounds = 4
Attendance = 17 - 32 Swiss Rounds = 5
Attendance = 33 - 64 Swiss Rounds = 6
Attendance = 65 - 128 Swiss Rounds = 7
Attendance = 129 - 226 Swiss Rounds = 8
Attendance = 227 - 409 Swiss Rounds = 9
Attendance = 410 or higher Swiss Rounds = 10
