Scrambler

This is a mini-tournament format for 4-13 players (best for 6 to 9) where each round is a doubles game, but in each round the players are scrambled up into new teams with each player's individual wins being tracked, and a single player declared the winner at the end of the event. Each player is paired once WITH each other player, and twice AGAINST each other player. Six and ten player formats are slightly different by necessity (there will be one player you are never paired with, and two players you only play against once each). For and seven and eleven players we recommend using the next schedule up (8 or 12) and using a "ghost player" so each player will play once by themselves.

We've included an area to track Win Margin as a tie breaker in case multiple players finish with the same record. If you want to play single games in order to play a faster event we recommend using the number of base kubbs left standing by the losing team minus the number of base kubbs left standing by the winning team (note that if one team is winning and lose via King fail then the winners could score a negative win margin); if you play best of three matches use the number of games lost with the winner having the fewest.

We recommend randomly drawing starting positions (which player is in which column) as well - this is the most equitable method of rotating schedules, but there is still an element of "unfairness" due to whom players are partnered with at which time. Randomly drawing starting positions reduces this as much as possible.
