HOW DO ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENTS IMPACT MY RANKING?
Round Robins are won by either the player with the most wins or the most points, depending on the tournament format.
For consistency in rankings, the first place winner will receive credit for wins against every competitor regardless of whether or not he/she 
actually beat every competitor… e.g. in a round robin of 8 the following wins are awarded to the following places…
Round Robin of 8 Players
1st Place 7 Wins This way, particularly in tournaments where total points are the most 
2nd Place  6 Wins important criteria, the winner of the tournament is guaranteed to have
3rd Place  5 Wins the most wins.  In actuality, the winner of a total points round robin
4th Place  4 Wins may not actually have the most wins.  This assures that the rankings
5th Place 3 Wins will reflect the results of the tournament.
6th Place  2 Wins
7th Place 1 Win
8th Place No Wins
DO BYES COUNT AS WINS?
If 5 or less entrants… Division is a Round-Robin
If 6-7… Byes count as wins, if you win the following match
If 8… No Byes
If 9-11… Byes don't count as wins, Feeder matches = conso win
If 12-15… Byes count as wins, if you win the following match
If 16… No Byes
If 17-23… Byes don't count as wins, Feeder matches = conso win
If 24-31… Byes count as wins, if you win the following match
If 32… No Byes
If 33-47… Byes don't count as wins, Feeder matches = conso win
If 48-63… Byes count as wins, if you win the following match
If 64… No Byes
If 65-95… Byes don't count as wins, Feeder matches = conso win
If 96-127… Byes count as wins, if you win the following match
If 128… No Byes
*** In consolation brackets, byes will not count as wins***
