Hello,
do you plan to add Hahn-System scoring to Tournament? I think it make sense and make games more interesting.

This is one of those things that would be best to put in our feature tracking system:

Migrating feature requests and suggestions over to uservoice

Hello all, Over the past couple of years we’ve gotten multiple thousands of feature requests and suggestions on how to make OGS increasingly awesome. Some are big, some are small, some are great ideas, some not as great, and while we think we did pretty good at juggling, sorting, implementing, and incorporating several hundred of those, there are lots of good ideas that fell through the cracks, or just ended up getting neglected for a plethora of reasons and excuses. Starting immediately we’d …

Personally, I don’t see a compelling reason to have it as an option to the other systems but if it got popular it’s something we can consider.

ok thanks for response.
Hahn system have one big advantage - motivate you to play till end and fight for every single point

This scoring system is doomed from the start because it uses the exact game result (points count).

@yebellz gave a nice list of examples on why this is a bad idea over in the dan ranks thread: Time to make dan ranks weaker?

I’m shocked to learn that it was actually used in a real tournament.

I am not sure
Here are results - there is quite few dan’s playing it.

I’d say the Hahn system is a rather exotic one.

That doesn’t say whether they played it because they wanted to use that specific system or because they simply wanted to play.

Basically what @Animiral and @matburt said: post it on uservoice and get some support for it. We won’t find the objective truth about how to count in a tournament without drawing complicated graphs here.
