Description: Dutch Pairing System for Swiss Tournaments

        ==========================================

        

        The Dutch is a pairing system for tournaments in the Swiss format. Although

        designed to be used for chess tournaments, it may prove useful for other types

        of games using the Swiss tournament format, e.g. *Magic: The Gathering (tm)*.

        

        The focus in the Dutch system is on two aspects, in descending priority:

        

        1. Pairing players with similar scores

        2. Allocating colours in a fair manner

        

        Mario Held has written an excellent [turorial](http://www.tinyurl.com/held2014)

        on the Dutch system in which he guides the reader through its implementation

        for an example 5 round tournament. He also provides an annotated copy of the

        FIDE Dutch rules in an appendix.
