Default Re: Math problem

Outside of being an interesting mathematical series problem, the general question is void. It would be incredibly difficult to get 27 players in a round-robin style game. It would take months if not years for every combination to be played out. I'd recommend a bracket style where only the top one or two players advance to the next round. Which is how the NCAA tournament decides a winner in just 6 rounds out of a pool of 64 teams.
