3.5 Swiss game mode

A tournament mode in which each player will have played the same amount of matches at the end of the tournament. The amount of rounds is always a fixed number, often fewer than for a round-robin. Therefore it’s often the case that each competitor doesn’t play against all other competitors. Losing any kind of match will never result in an elimination from the tournament. Each player will play for a specific position.
