Hello friends. I enjoyed it to play this Hourly-Rapid-Arena. Link here: lichess.org/tournament/cvXYAGfO
But i think Lichess-Tourneys have a great weakness with working out the winners - my result in this tourney is 7/7. I won all my games, my result is 6th place. My opinion is this is not correct - the problem is the berserk-mode and the possibility that not all players have the same number of games. I am played very many tourneys at Playchess-Server in the past. This tourneys are working with swiss-system and with a fix time-control. In a 9-round-swiss-tourney you normally have the chance to make a late-join until round 3 if you are too late. Berserking-mode leads to a quicker playing than necessary - the most important for the ranking seems not to win most of your games, the number of played games is equal in importance. For me - i hate berserk. In a rapid-tourney i want to play a 10+0 game and not a 5+0 - in a blitz-tourney i want to play for example a 5+0 and not a 2,5+0 (what is close to bullet) - and the games are much weaker when you play so fast. Maybe is it possible for the Lichess-Admins to integrate the possibility for swiss-tourneys in the software I think it would be a great profit for the server. Thank you very much!
