Ah, the Swiss system is a clever way to match players with similar scores, round by round. The tiebreaks like Buchholz? That's adding up your opponents' scores to see who faced tougher competition. My son explains it like checking the health of the trees around yours.
But I'll tell you, my calculation is the hotel bill versus the prize money for third place. All this 'opponent's opponent's score' feels like predicting the monsoon—you trust the system, but you pack an umbrella. I’ve funded more trips for 'good experience' than for trophies.
