I have a question. If the tournament is used the opening of the 11 men ballot players during party play it black and white pieces, or just playing black.

Each round has two games, one with each color.

Thank you Mr.John. That You understand that here is an example of how well I think. Is opening

[11 Man Ballot #4 Slight Red Adv]
[FEN "B:W19,21,22,23,25,26,27,29,30,31,32:B1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12"]

In this case, the player plays the opening black and white pieces. If I understand correctly. Later summed up the entire result of the party consisting of two games. Is scoring is as follows - loss 0 points, draw 1 point, victory 2 points. What I mean is that if a player wins the two parties is the result of 0-2 or 0-4.

Yes, that's correct. If scoring by game, two wins would earn 4 points.

In eleven-man ballot, each player removes one of the front eight pieces (at random) and then makes one of the seven possible moves (also at random). In other words, the randomly chosen opening consists of removing one piece from each player's pieces and each player making a random move. Both of these tasks are done by drawing a card from a special deck of cards. And, if the piece that is supposed to move is already gone, the piece behind it moves in the same direction if there is a choice of directions.
