How Does the Swiss Format Implemented by Illuvium Work?
The Swiss format is a system commonly used in tournaments and competitions, both in games and sports. Its main feature is that it allows all participants to play a predetermined number of rounds, and each participant or team faces another with a similar performance in each round. As the tournament progresses, players or teams with similar performance are paired against each other.
The Swiss format is known for its fairness and its ability to provide an exciting competitive experience. Unlike other formats, such as single-elimination, where a loss can eliminate a participant. In the Swiss format, participants are not eliminated after a loss. Instead, they continue to compete in additional rounds against opponents with similar performance.
After each round, participants are ranked based on their results. Players with similar performance are paired in the next round. This process continues until the predetermined number of rounds is completed or until a winner is determined according to the tournament criteria.
Illuvium has proven to be an innovative force in the blockchain gaming realm. With this tournament, it aims to create an inclusive and accessible environment for players of all levels. The adoption of a Swiss format and an even playing field with predefined decks reflects Illuvium’s commitment to fairness and fun in its blockchain gaming ecosystem.
