I was thinking about making the pairs in regular Basque chess change to triplets or more. Here is what I'm thinking in terms of triplets :
P1 plays white against P2
P2 plays white againt P3
P3 plays white agains P1
for n-tuplets the thing goes like this
P1 plays white against P2
P2 plays white against P3
P3 plays white against P4
...
Pn-1 plays white against Pn
Pn plays white against P1
This may be useful in Swiss tournaments where there are a non-prime odd number of players :)!
A thought has crossed my mind just now.
