Swiss tournaments are on Lichess

We played this lichess.org/swiss/d1lfVWGO, but several players was not paired and in round 4 only one game was paired, 18 - people was not paired. After round 4 - the ranking was shown, although we expected 7 rounds.

20 people, 2 early quitters, 7 rounds does not work.
5 rounds at most.
Kick the early quitters out of the team.

@RH-PAD It seems that you had also 16 quitters in round 3, or am I wrong?

14 Players, 7 rounds, no problems at all. Great stuff !!

@tpr Last week we had 18 players, 2 early quitters, and we played effortlessly all set rounds. It DOES work, even if it isn't your opinion. Obviously something went wrong in the tournament of #441, after a couple of rounds of blitz with just 30sec in between the rounds it won't be the case that 90% leaves.

@tpr 20 players (or 18) with 7 rounds works totally fine.

it seems like a bug that 18 (or 16 in this case as 2 were early quitters) players were marked as early quitters for round 4.

@odoaker2015

Thx! That's great!

I hope round robin will be implemented soon.
It will be a good alternative to Swiss when there are few participants

@Radoor I don't think so! lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/no-round-robin-tournaments-on-lichess

In our local chess club, we have held some blitz tournaments, now that we can't meet because of Corona.
Last time we were 6 players. We tried the swiss and it went just fine. We got the game 5 rounds.
yesterday we were also 6 players. We also we only played 3 rounds, after which the tournament ended.
Previously, we had a round robin, where we managed the tournament with a schedule where we then challenged each other. We will do this again.
However, it would be far easier if it were an opportunity to make a round robin at Lichess.
The problem that it causes problems if a player retires is not a problem for us
