Re: Math problem
One of the good things about chess and its rating system (see my remark about one possible way to have a rating system in SE4 in the "New League" thread) is the wonderful way tournements can be run. Using the rating of the player, you just use Swiss-System pairing and get a tourney done in 4-5 rounds...considering anywhere from 15-30 people.
