    The Swiss-Style Pairing System This system, often used in chess tournaments, offers many advantages over single-elimination. Also known as the Swiss Draw, this tournament style allows all participants to play in every round, pairing each round's players based on their current records and standings. To determine who plays against whom, players with the best match records are matched against each other, and then the next highest records, etc. A round consists of a best-of-three series of matches, which are worth the following points during Swiss rounds:

    match won = 3 points
    match drawn = 1 point
    match lost = 0 points
