Welcome to the Super Duper Tournament Centre! Here you will find information regarding current and past player-run tournaments as well as some general information on how tournaments work in SDG. The tournament feature is new and in a beta state! I can all but promise you that something will go wrong at some point. Any bug reports or feedback should be directed to the Tournament Feedback page.
Tournament Directors are welcome to run tournaments in any way they see fit. Each tournament has its own wiki space where the rules and current status of the event are listed.
The Tournaments forum is also an appropriate place to announce the commencement and status of your tournament.
SDG does not:
provide nor enforce a particular tournament design. The organizer can pair players in any way they wish.
provide a pairing engine. It is the organizer's responsibility to implement the design they choose. (Be sure to check the Helpful Links section though!)
automatically update wiki pages. The organizer is solely responsible for keeping the information up-to-date and useful.
Please visit the Tournament Feedback page if you have other helpful links to add.
TDX - A free, open-source, Java pairing engine for Swiss-style tournaments. It is not perfect, but can be an invaluable aid. I am happy to help as much as I can in making it work for you. It is the only completely free engine I have yet found.
