Best for
Large fields with limited time — a Swiss ranks everyone in far fewer rounds than a round robin
Events where knocking half the field out after one loss would empty the venue
Mixed-ability fields that sort themselves into competitive matches within a round or two
How the field sorts itself
Read it left to right: round one is drawn at random, then every round after pairs teams inside their own score group. A dashed line is a team floated down because its group had an odd number. By the last round the buckets are the ranking, and every match along the way was between teams with the same record.
