That's what I need the -seeds nilari wrote:There's a new "-seeds n" parameter which sets the first n players as seeds in the tournament. The top two seeds can't face each other before the final, top 4 before the semifinals and so on. And if the total number of players in the tournament is not a power of 2, seeded players are prioritized to receive a BYE (ie. go straight to round 2).Ferdy wrote:Thanks for the update.
How the bracket are created in knockout?
How to setup a knockout tour such that the best engines will most likely battle in the latter rounds?
Unseeded players are positioned randomly. By default all players are unseeded.

25 games: +9 -12 =4I use the following option to do it.TimoK wrote:Hi Ilari,
thank you very much for the new release!
I tested it and possibly found a bug: Engines don't switch the sides any more if you set up a tournament with >2 participants.
Example 1: cutechess-cli.exe -tournament gauntlet -engine conf="Komodo" -engine conf="Gull" -engine conf="Stockfish" -each tc=5+0.05 -rounds 10
This command leads to Komodo only playing white in all games against both opponents.
Example 2: cutechess-cli.exe -tournament gauntlet -engine conf="Komodo" -engine conf="Gull" -each tc=5+0.05 -rounds 10
There are only 2 participants left - now everything works like it should: Sides are switched after each game, so Komodo plays 5 games with white and 5 games with black.
This error didn't appear in version 0.7.3 which was the last version I tested.
Best regards
Timo
