Two Round + Final Seating Chart

Here's the link from Google Groups for the two round plus final aka 2r+f or 2 round + final (for the search function) tournament seating:

If that dies, you can go directly to it here:

I was looking for it and figured it should go on the VEKN forum.

So, you were looking for something to do with V:TES tournaments.
Of course, you started on TheLasombra.com .
You clicked on Tournaments .
Then looked at the sixth paragraph and found exactly what you wanted.

How does the one you mention compare to the one I linked above (other than being from that great website)? Are they comparable?

Side by side comparison:

1) 4 players to 20 player (instead of 8-20)	advantage	Tatu/Mergen
2) Displays nicely and prints on 1 page	advantage	Tatu/Mergen
3) Shows their work with the rules for optimal seating	advantage	Tatu/Mergen

- I'm not sure the Kevin M. / David T. charts need to specify that "2. No pair of players share a table through all three rounds, when possible."
- seatings for 6 and 7 players in Kevin / David's charts require 3 rounds to be played. Most often I've seen 2 rounds played due to limited amount of time, which makes these 3-round seatings unusable.
- BSC's charts are available on cellphone, which is cool.
- prints on 1 page is cool too (Kevin/David's)

I only checked tables 8 & 9, but here are my remarks:
8:
- TPs are better handled in K/D's file (5,5,4,6,5,5,4,6 rather than 3,6,4,7,3,6,4,7)

9:
- player 5 has 8 TPs in K/D's file, TPs are equally distributed in BSC's file.
- K/D doesnt' seem to respect rule #3 "maximize VPs" with players 7 and 8 having max 8 VPs (when just player 6 gets max 8 VPs in BSC's chart)
