Rule of the calculation
Point
Player is given point by match result. 3 point for winner, 1 point for each draw players or 0 point for loser.
Winner by BYE game is given 3 point
this point is primary point for rank calculation.
In case any 2 players has same point, they will compare by opponent point.
Opponent point is average point of opponent players.
BYE game does not count for the opponent point.
In case the 2 players also have same opponent point, BS Match Maker will count Win Point
Win point is that number of wins on the game. it has meaning only by 3 point match
the 2 players are same rank if all comparison has same points.
Matching
shuffle all player before sorting by points.
pick high score players first then make pair. in case the pair already matched, 2nd player will be hold then pick next player.
last player will get BYE game. if 2 or more player ware hold, match make is fail, shuffle and matching again.
if the process retry 10 times, BS Match Maker gives up the match making then show message.
*there is a bug due to too strict matching, some time BS Match maker can not make next match before select only one complete winner.
version 1.0.2 or later compare only win point for matching in case fail 10 times so the bug has been solved.
