A playing mode which resembles swiss system, but with some of the Keizer specialties kept:

A very good idea to invent a hybrid system between the Swiss system and the original Keizer system.

The strength of the Keizer system compared to the Swiss system are:

1) The possibility of being able to replay several times against the same opponent, which allows to imagine a tournament with an infinite number of rounds. This is interesting when the tournament has few players (for example to easily animate an internal tournament of a club, with a game evening every week for a whole year).

2) The system seeks to pair players of similar strength from the first round and not a strong player against a weak player as in the Swiss system. The fact of seeking to pair players of the same strength rather than strong vs weak makes the games more interesting to play, especially in the first rounds.
