瑞士赛制配对算法研究

Research on pairing algorithm of Swiss System

瑞士赛制(包括配对规则)从最初开始发展至今在不断完善。笔者在查询文献资料、总结多年实践经验的基础上,对瑞士配对规则进行了专门研究。研究结果表明,瑞士配对方法存在大量重复计算,计算不精确,影响了计算机配对效率;且手工难以完全按照瑞士规则中的移位和换位规则执行配对操作。对此,笔者提出了新的"嵌套式循环轮次"配对方法,并给出了其配对轮次计算公式,这个公式可以达到精确计算目的,提高计算机的配对效率和智能化。由于配对轮次的生成方法遵循了循环赛"固定轮转法"原理,使瑞士配对方法更容易理解,也方便手工操作记忆,同时,更能满足瑞士规则中的浮动规则要求。可以说,从配对的效率和可操作性上,新方法可以改进传统瑞士配对方法。

Swiss System （including pairing rules） has been in continuous improvement from the beginning. Based on literature summary query and years of experience, the author specializes in the Swiss pairing rules. The research results show that the Swiss pairing method has a large number of repeated calculations and imprecise computation which affects the computer pairing efficiency and it is difficult to complete the pairing operation manually according to the transposition and exchange rules in Swiss rules. So, the author proposes a new“nested loop round”pairing method and the formula for calculating the pairing rounds is given. The formula can achieve the accurate calculation and improve the pairing efficiency and intelligent of the computer. The method for generating pairing rounds follows the round robin ＂fixed rotation＂ principle, so the Swiss pairing method is easier to understand, and also convenient for manual operation. At the same time, it can meet the requirements of the floating rules in the Swiss rules. It can be said that from the pairing efficiency and maneuverability, the new method can improve the traditional Swiss pairing method.
