Swiss tournaments are on Lichess

It would be good if the Team Leader could also manually trigger the calculation of the new pairing, as this could play over several days (for example one round per day).
Great effort! Lots of players and clubs were waiting for this. Berserking, forfeiting quickly, offering draws just before the end of a tournament to get a point... All these tendancies are not very good for kids in arenas. Swiss is better for kids.
Here lichess.org/swiss it was said that the Sonneborn-Berger score is used for tie breaks. In many cases, however, this may not be enough. It is better to use Buchholz score first and the Sonneborn-Berger score as a further (second) refinement!
This is also the default setting in the Swisschess software. I use this software for the administration of normal club tournaments in my local club.

The tie-break regulations in the FIDE Handbook :
handbook.fide.com/index.phtml?chapter=C02

See in particular 13.16.4 :

1) Buchholz Cut 1
2) Buchholz
3) Sonneborn-Berger
4) Cumulative system - Sum of Progressive Scores
5) Direct encounter
6) The greater number of wins including forfeits
7) The greater number of wins with Black pieces
@pascalg I didn't say anything else. I have only remarked that the Sonneborn-Berger is not enough as the only criterion. Because it may be that some participants can also have the same Sonneborn-Berger score. To prevent this, Buchholz should be used as the first criterion. And the software Swisschess has been designed according to the FIDE regulations. This software is also used in official OTB tournaments. At least in Germany.
Bug report? I wonder why a rated tournament is shown as casual in the team page.
