Hi, I've downloaded the Archon spredsheet tournament tracker and got one question... If I use the "V:TES Optimal Tournament Seating", is also the order (and not only which players sit at which table) decided from the start? I.e. should there be no randomization at the start of each round to see in which order the players at a given table should sit? And also, should the first player in the Seating table start to play, or should that be randomized? Thanks /Henke

[ quoted text not captured ] The "starting order" (i.e., who gets to be "player 1") should be randomized at the start of the tournament. The charts are designed so that the first player listed at a table plays first, the second plays second (is the prey of the first), and so on. If you attempt to randomize the order at a table, you could end up repeating the same predator-prey relationship between two players. If you randomize who goes first, you could end up with the same player playing 1st (or 2nd, etc.) more than once during the course of the tournament. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
