Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
N/A• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
The tournament boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=112844 is using swiss system with 5 matches. It happens that 6 players registered. So it is expected to become round robin as same players is supposed to be prevented to be opponents twice. However, in the 4th round, we see that phoebeng vs debm2021 again, which has already happened in 2nd round. Would BGA please fix this and make sure the same players is never play with each other twice, and like v1 swiss system before, ends the tournament if each player has played with another once, making it a round robin tournament.• Which browser are you using?

Report history
I didn't know that there was an earlier version of Swiss System that could end the tournament early if players could not be matched without repeating matchups. Did that work in tournaments of multiplayer games, or only two-player games?
