Default Re: Math problem

Ok, I figured it out the long way using graph paper.

So I guess then it's x squared, where x is the number of players per game. Not x to the power of x. So with 4 player games it would take 16 people in the tourney and 5 player games would take 25? Does that sound right? Is there a way to verify that without using graph paper?
