How it works
Basic mode produces a single list where all entries are matched at once. Without the round constraint, the algorithm has more freedom to find fights with the smallest weight difference.
It's Derby's most direct mode: register entries, set the tolerance, and get the fight list ordered by fight number.
- Single list — All matchups appear in one continuous block
- Minimum weight difference — Optimization without round distribution constraints
- Ideal for eliminations — Fast when multiple rounds are not required
- Configurable scoring — Define points for win, tie and loss according to your rules
Advantages
- Minimum possible weight difference between each fight
- Quick and simple setup
- Immediate results for short events
Considerations
- No round or group structure
- Less control over team participation order
