Let's remove "Late-compensating points"

@chessjun1234,but in tournaments, there aren't many places like this at first, so you can try to grab the top spots right away!

@nadjarostowa said in #10:

https://lichess.org/swiss/stzJZmLq

the top player, @llliilllllliliiilli 's account is closed.

So, this system can cause CHEATING for high-rated players.

In arenas, people who join late don't get any bonus points, so that's fine. I mean, that joining after "ONE SECOND" is bad at all. If a player wants to play with stonger opponents, (s)he should join early.

the second link does not exist.

the third one, @sarren8797 and @ukeshan2 , @vitolinsv , @richardo24 got high ranks. They received half point bye.

We are using these for example, not for player-judge.

Not sure what you are trying to say here. Now that 1/2 encourages cheating? You are serious?

Sorry for the wrong link for one of the tournaments. Probably it was this one: https://lichess.org/swiss/vfxq0WWr

They received half point bye.

And would have done without them, too... my point is: it usually doesn't make a difference. And it is designed to keep things fair, not the opposite. Similar rules are in place when playing OTB tournaments.

I think you are strongly mistaken both on the motivation for late-joining, and on the effects of that 1/2 point bye.
