Tome software error Store Championships 2016

By vengefulspirit, in X-Wing

Has any store or TO found that at the end of Swiss Tome has failed to record MOV for all players and has instead ranked them by SoS?

Tournament Software Strength of Schedule
FFG’s tournament software, TOME, is currently in beta and accessible to
some tournament organizers. This software uses a different strength of
schedule calculation than what is outlined in this document. We have made
this change to improve the tournament experience for players and more
accurately represent each player’s actual standing in the tournament.

TOME calculates a player’s strength of schedule by dividing each opponent’s
score by the number of rounds the opponent has played, then adding the
results of all opponents played by that player. The software then divides that
total by the number of rounds the player has played to find a player’s strength
of schedule.

Tournament organizers using TOME should communicate that use to players
before the tournament starts so that players are aware of the different
strength of schedule.

TOME sucks.
Just use Cryodex. Its awesome.

That is just communicating how TOME's SoS calculation is different, but it still shouldn't pair by SoS.

The paragraph before states that MoV is the first tie breaker.

I'm jusy wondering if this is a common occurrence with Tome.

TOME is buggy and shouldn't be used.

The Force is strong with Cryodex.

TOME sucks.

Isn't that the point currently with TOME, that it doesn't do MOV, it is using Strength of Schedule with a version of MOV factored in or am I misunderstanding how they calculate it? Which is why you advise players ahead of time because it isn't calculated the same at all. You could ask Kris Sherriff directly. He is certainly one that has been using it.

TOME calculates SoS differently then the tournament rules say to. That in and of itself is silly. You should not have two different systems for seeding players based on what tournament software you use. But TOME does not alter the priority of the stats used for seeding players.

TOME or not it is Points, MoV, then SOS. TOME only changes how SOS is calculated, not how it is used.
