Ask about Scoring & LeaderboardAN ORGANIZER’S NOTE
The opponents each player meets during a round depend on your tournament’s movement rules. Planning all the rounds together helps you look for repeat pairings before the first tile is dealt.
With smaller groups and more rounds, some repeats may be unavoidable. The goal is to reduce them while accommodating your tournament’s seating needs.
