Swiss available as first stage.
Great job guys : ) I was just wondering if it was possible to have a Swiss available as first stage for a two stage tournaments.
What I do after a few rounds is to divide the standing list into groups of four people, like positions 1,2,3,4 go to group 1 and they play for positions 1 to four. Positions 5,6,7,8 go to group 2 and play for final standing 5 to 8.
This way tournaments are more compelling to the participants because they have a play off games in the end for final posistions, and swiss is a great alternative if you do not want to have groups or don have a initial standing.
Regards, Jurek.

This idea resonates with the strategic gameplay in https://raftwar.io where players must carefully plan their moves to win while adapting to their opponents' tactics.

I hope this can be supported:
1.1st stage: 8 groups of 8 or more players. Swiss in each group, say 4 or 5 rounds.
2. 2nd stage: top 2 of each group, go to division 1, play Swiss or single elimination(round of 16). And, 3rd and 4th places, go to division 2, ....etc.
