i would be interested in playing as it does not rely on one hand of cards. Winner takes all. In UK it is a round robin.
thanks elsie2005
Swiss vs Round Robin

In the US, there are distinct differences between Swiss and round robin (RR) formats. In the Swiss format , everyone plays a set number of rounds and you most likely will not play everyone. You generally do not play anyone more than once.
In a true RR, you play everyone (might just be in your group if the number of players is large) so the number of rounds is dependent on the number of players or number of players in a group.
In a modified RR, you play a set number of rounds. This part is similar to Swiss, however, the scoring is usually different between the two formats.
Also, in the Swiss format, anyone with a 'BYE' has a distinct scoring advantage over those that do not.
That is my explanation of the differences.
Happy Pegs,

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
