I'm playing in a private Swiss tournament. It started today and all four rounds started within seconds of each other. That's not how it's supposed to work -- the very definition of a Swiss tournament is that players with (approximately) the same score meet in each round, which means that you can't start the second round until the first-round results are known.

Ya just a bug it's been mentioned before IIRC

I must've missed it if it was mentioned.

Also, I see that a winner has been declared.

Also also, I see that byes are only worth the same as a draw. A bye imposed because of an odd number of players is supposed to be worth a win.

I fixed the tournament, the extra games that were created for the additional rounds are now normal games and are not linked to the tournament.

Jaychess, did anything out of the ordinary happen when you started the tournament? Did you get any errors or messages?

Thanks, miguel -- that's great!

Everything was normal...but I also realized like richerby that when the tournament had started, 4 rounds were taking place at the same time and I was puzzled. Anyway...thanks for fixing it. ;-)
