I wrote a bit of code that will make groups (it even copes with odd numbers, get me), and will make every player play every other one in their group twice. (Subject to change, three might be better.)<BR/><BR/>I almost have the group table generation done (read: haven't started it), and the winner from each group goes through as per usual rules.<BR/><BR/>If there aren't enough people for the quarters, then the highest scoring loser will be picked. (Yes, it keeps the scores from the matches too. Datamining and stats. Mmmm, lovely.)<BR/><BR/>I can generate a list of people vs people RIGHT NOW. But let me still some front end on it, as it is all command line scripts with a database back end.<BR/><BR/>By the end of the weekend, I will have a complete suite of tournament software written, from groups onwards. Realtime league table generation, stats and so on. And once the tourney has been through a few iteration, my code will then produce seedings, and make sure the seeds get scattered properly throughout the draw. (Which is random right now.)<BR/><BR/>More soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-81774024698054855812008-02-15T15:26:00.000+00:002008-02-15T15:26:00.000+00:00count me in :o)count me in :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-16886377609277296042008-02-15T08:34:00.000+00:002008-02-15T08:34:00.000+00:00I'm game!

Also that dictionary makes it easy to find out if "jiao" really is a word or wishful thinking. Having said that, Scrabbulous is turning me into a neglectful mother; yesterday the toad stole three yogurts out of the fridge and smeared his face with Aloe Vera Vaseline. Actually I think he ate most of it..... I should not be confessing this.<BR/>Miss EleanorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
