Swing Tournaments

A 'Swing' is a contest in which all players start with an equal amount of chips
and continue to play until one player remains who accumulated all the chips.

As long as a player has chips, he will continue playing in the
tournament.
Players will be randomly matched against one another for a `Single`
game.
Each game will start with an initial stake as set in the current
tournament CPP (Chips Per Point, see definition below).
When a game starts, if one of the players has less chips than the set
CPP, the initial stake would be his entire chips, i.e. the player would be
"All-in".
The CPP will be raised every few minutes in the tournament, but not
during a single game. (As shown in the Tournament Lobby).
The rating of the player will be set at the end of each game.

Definition:

Chips Per Point (CPP): the number of chips that each point of the game is
worth. This value doesn't change in the middle of a game. If you won a
regular game and the CPP was equal to 100 and the doubling cube was at 2,
you will win 200 chips. The same rules apply for gammon (x2) and
backgammon (x3) wins.
